3 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +3
peer agreement (net): +3in one fell swoop Explanation: is an idiom that may work... in one fell swoop all at the same time. I prefer to see someone in charge so we can deal with everything in one fell swoop. Etymology: based on the literal meaning of fell swoop (= a quick, sudden downward movement by an attacking bird) http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/swoop -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-01-09 20:09:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, a less dramatic approach would be "all at once". |
