A British informal phrase meaning an event or activity is going brilliantly — full of energy, enthusiasm, and the feeling that everything is clicking into place. When a party, performance, or project goes with a swing, it flows naturally and everyone involved is having a great time. The phrase has been in common use since at least the early 20th century and remains a cheerful staple of British conversational English.
