Meaning of two phrases
1) (somebody) Flat out didn't like him :
For what I understand, this phrase means that "somebody didn't like him " , why do they use "flat out" instead of only using (somebody) didn't like him ?
Does that mean like ,the ultimate way of not liking somebody , by adding Flat Out to the sentence ?
2) TAKE A RUN AT SOMEBODY
Does this mean to force somebody to give some information ?
Thanks

'Flat out' means 'completely (and) immediately'. 'Take a run at' usually means 'attempt', but here it seems to mean 'attack' (as in jousting).
