Like the crack of a whip, quick and painfully on the mark. Analogous to "Smart as a tack" or "Whipper snapper". Opposite of "dumb as a sack of hammers."
As smart as a whip is one of the most popular similes used to describe cleverness. As smart as a fox is another simile often used to describe cleverness.
There is no such phrase. There is a word rampage. It is of Scottish origin, perhaps from RAMP, to rear up.
The Spanish for "I have put" is he puesto, could this be the origin?
Smart as a Fox or Monkey ???

I consider "smart as a whip" a play on words. Whips smart (hurt). But whips were once believed to make animals smarter (learning-wise). In reality, the animal's new-found intelligence was the memory of being hurt-- a powerful motivator. Whips also act fast. The pain is quick; quickly delivered and quickly ended, except what "smarts" afterward.
