Scottish dialect for moving quickly or whizzing past — the kind of fast, breezy movement that leaves a little rush of air behind. Wheech can also mean to flick or snatch something quickly.

In Scottish English it feels natural and expressive in a way that regular words like zoom or rush don't quite capture with the same local flavor.
