"In Like Flynn"

I will no longer use this phrase....unless I am referring to something sexual...

This definition brought to you by the site: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/198700.html

Meaning

To be quickly and/or emphatically successful, usually in a sexual or romantic context.

Origin

in like flynnThis phrase is commonly said to be a reference to Errol Flynn, the Australian film actor. Flynn was famous for his romantic swashbuckler roles in Hollywood films and for his flamboyant private life. His reputation as a hard-drinking, hell-raising ladies' man was apparently well justified, although it has doubtless been enhanced by his delight in playing up to his image.
