"In like Flynn" nghĩa là đạt thành công, sự tán thưởng; làm rất nhanh và hăng hái. Cụm từ này đề cập đến Errol Flynn - người đàn ông rất thành công trong việc chinh phục phụ nữ trong thập niên 40 và khả năng thu hút phái đẹp này của ông đã được biết đến trên toàn thế giới.

On a lighter note, have you ever heard anybody say he was “in like Flynn?” Wikipedia says: “In like Flynn” is a slang phrase meaning “having quickly or easily achieved a goal or gained access as desired.” In the 1940s, the term became associated with the actor Errol Flynn, who was known as something of a ladies man. So, to be “in like Flynn” also came to mean to be successful in love, so to speak.

So grab the crew, grow the mos and mullets, wear your horizontally striped (sọc ngang) rugby tops, and severely under-sized shorts, don (khoác lên) your chrome (thuốc nhuộm màu vàng) or gold plate sunnies, with some zinc (mạ kẽm) liberally applied to your nose, and you're in like Flynn.
