뜻
As fast as possible.
문화적 배경
This phrase is a staple in 19th-century literature (Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoy) to describe the movement of horses and carriages. The idiom reflects a time when horses were the lifeblood of the village, and everyone knew the signs of a horse working at its limit. Despite its rural origins, it's now used for cars, subways, and even internet speeds in a humorous way. Often appears in fairy tales (skazki) when a hero is escaping a villain like Baba Yaga.
Pair with 'нестись'
While 'бежать' is fine, using 'нестись во все лопатки' sounds much more native and expressive.
Don't change the number
Never say 'в лопатку' (singular). It's always plural 'лопатки'.

Use for humor
You can use it to describe a small pet (like a hamster) running in its wheel to sound funny and hyperbolic.

자주 묻는 질문
4 질문Yes, you can say 'Машина неслась во все лопатки', though it's a bit more metaphorical since cars don't have shoulder blades.
Not at all. It's just informal and very descriptive. It's safe to use with friends and family.
It's for phonetic reasons. Russian adds an 'o' to 'в' when the next word starts with a difficult cluster of consonants like 'вс'.
Absolutely! It's a very common idiom in modern spoken Russian.
