That it means...

Some new word/phrases that I recently came across...

swimmingly: very well e.g. Everything in your life is going swimmingly.

in the swims : up to date/knowing what's going on

May you break your leg: used to wish someone, such as an actor, success in a performance. It means that the evening's performance would be of such grandeur that the actor would be obliged to break his leg - that is bend his knee - in a deep bow acknowledging the audience's applause.
