What does 'swat aside' mean in football?
We received a question about the phrase, 'swat aside' in football and especially what it meant in the following sentence:
‘Manchester City swat aside Stoke City as James Milner sets up comfortable win’.
We think 'swat aside' describes an easy victory, a comfortable win.
What do you think? Can you think of any other examples?
