There isn't space of course to give all the definitions here, but here are just a few of the everyday uses of the word run: Run for office; run a bath, have a run in your stockings; go for a run; run your computer; run out of milk; run amok; score a run; run a red light; run at 11% inflation; run a car; set off at a run; have a practice run; do a production run; have a run of suits; have a run on the horses; go on a ski-run, do a run-down, have a Guinea pig run; run a tab; see a paint run and have the run(s).
Unfortunately you can't find all 645 definitions just yet in print; they will come out in the 3rd edition of the Oxford English Dictionary when it is reprinted in 2037. According to the Readers Digest, it took a lexicographer nine months of research for all the definitions and examples for the "run"
entry.
