You might break your legs." The phrase "to swing by" means to visit a place for a short period of time: "I swung by Heather's apartment after work to return her books." The phrase "to swing into action" means to begin working on something very intently and seriously: "We all have to swing into action as soon as we get the assignment if we're going to finish it by Friday." Finally, the phrase "to swing (something) at (someone)" means to move one's arm through the air while holding something in order to hit another person: "She swung her purse at the thief who was trying to steal her packages." |
