I did some research for your question and this is what I found:\n\nOne of the earliest known use of "in like Flynn" in print is in the December 1946 issue of American Speech. Penn State Proffessor Ed Miller reported that students of his who had served in the army air force during World War II used the expression to mean, "'Everything is OK.' In other words, the pilot is having no more trouble than Errol Flynn has in his cinematic feats."\n\nFrom this we learn several things: (1) The expression was of recent origin. Had it been widely used in the 1930s Miller would not have included it in a list of World War II slang. (2) The term was generally understood to refer to Errol Flynn. (3) It didn't necessarily refer to Flynn's success with women. (4) Then again, maybe Miller's students just didn't feel like proclaiming otherwise in the middle of class.\n\nNo question, a lot of people think the phrase means in like Flynn's you know what, and with good reason. Flynn, a popular film star in the 1930s, became notorious in November 1942 when he was charged with two counts of statutory rape. Though acquitted he was the butt of jokes ever after.\n\nOne film bio none too subtly comments, "Warner Brothers . . . found [Flynn's] popularity not only had held but had a new spurt of interest. A new phrase was added to the English language: `In like Flynn'" (Tony Thomas et al, The Films of Errol Flynn, 1969).\n\nAnother says the post trial Flynn became a "wild man of the mattress. The slogan 'In like Flynn' rose like smoke from the trial and ran laughingly around the globe" (Earl Conrad, Errol Flynn: A Memoir, 1978).\n\nAn Australian playwright (Flynn was born in Australia) even claimed the expression "in like Errol" was current in his country for a time (Alexander Buzo, Rooted, 1973).\n\nBut still. These guys were writing after the sexual revolution of the 1960s. In like Flynn's schwanz? In the 1940s?\n\nAn alternative interpretation comes from A Dictionary of Catch Phrases (Eric Partridge, 1986). Edward J. Flynn (1892-1953) was a New York City political boss who became a campaign manager for the Democratic Party during FDR's presidency. Boss Flynn's "Democratic Party machine exercised absolute political control over the Bronx.... The candidates he backed were almost automatically 'in,' and he himself permanently so," Partridge comments.\n\nNow we have the beginnings of a theory. "In like Flynn" starts as rhyming slang in New York, helped along by the prominence of Boss Flynn. NYC draftees spread it among the troops nationwide with the start of World War II. The phrase gets a boost when the well-publicized travails of Errol Flynn in 1942 give it a double meaning. But its innocent origin allows Cecil's mom to use it without being scandalized.\n\nJust one thing. We have no evidence that "in like Flynn" was used anywhere prior to November 1942.

"Clever clogs" is both the singular and the plural! It's like sheep. That's both singular and plural. Or trousers! You don't have one trouser (or at least I've never seen one!)

They're not quite the same. The infinitive in the first sentence definitely looks into the future and talks about the possibility that an event will happen.\n\nThe second sentence is strange in present tense, but if you said 'You were mostly likely robbed...' I would understand that you were robbed and the police officer is speculating on the time.\n\n'These buildings are likely to be built on a solid rock foundation' - they are not built yet but they will probably be built on a solid rock foundation.\n\n'These buildings are most likely built on a solid rock foundation' - they are built and I'm looking at them and speculation about the bedrock.

Yep. Mike Flynn is sexy, but in an unconventional way. \n\nAnd don't get me started on Mulligan...

It is a colloquialism. It depends on the geographical area where one is educated. It is ambivalent in that either way is correct.

What's the context of this word? I can translate wirbel and kalt easily but together is make me think of 'blustering or freezing winds'. I'd love to see its usage though.

Not unless it is a proper noun. (A name or title.)\n\n EX: "The Bank of Democracy" is capped cuz it's a name, but\n\n"The U.S. is a democracy."  is not capped!

One word I learned that I think should be included in everyone's vocabulary is snickersnee. It means fighting or  sword. Plus, students really enjoy this word- it just sounds cool! Part of speech- n.

Kerplode is correct.  "Garnish" is the word you want.  One is a "garnishee" if one's wages are being garnished.  Hope it isn't you.  Good luck!

It is figurative language. This sentence is saying that knowledge or recognition is a flash of light.  One thing is another - a metaphor.

My black friend told me it was okay for his white friends to say nig-ga, but not okay to say the other. It was just his view. I think one is a more affectionate term, an attempt to take the sting off the origonal racist slang. Wether intentional, or accidental, it seems to have been effective. The more it's used and the more creative dirrivitives that arise, the less we are reminded of our divided past. Keeping the term taboo only allows it to keep it's stinging power. I don't prefer the black culture at all, but I couldn't imagine america without it. Keep it loose and friendly, we can get along famously forever.
