Phrase | swing |
Text | In this podcast, a "mood swing" is a rapid, unexpected change in one's emotions and feelings: "Many kids start to have a lot of mood swings when they enter puberty." At a park, a "swing" is a small seat that hangs from a metal or wooden structure by chains or ropes, so that children can sit on it and move back and forth: "Could you please push me on the swing?" The phrase "to get into the swing of things" means to become very involved in some activity or project: "The project started slowly, but once we got into the swing of things, it became much easier." Finally, the phrase "to be in full swing" means to be fully operational, or to be at the maximum level of activity: "The hospital renovations are almost finished, so we should be in full swing by the middle of next month." |
