Doesn't swell mean like a gland that swells up? Just asking... Isn't "well" the good adjective?

nm... cause, the "swell" forums, sounds like it's swollen.

I'll be kinda busy but anyways, i'm not even at home now, so i might get it done by the end of this weekend. if you're in a rush, have someone else do it.

anyways, have you quit my collab challenge?

So, you quit? I'll update the list then.

Yes, but it has a different meaning too:
Definition: (Slang) Today's word is a positive epithet, popular in the 30s and 40s, meaning, roughly "great, fine."

Usage: Today's word is dated slang but those of us a bit senescent may still say, "We had a swell time at the swing party last night." No, this couple wasn't on a park swing or a porch swing but were dancing to swing—which is currently making a come-back. It may be used sarcastically, too: "Well, that's just swell! You and your buddies ate all the cookies I had baked for my tea party."

Suggested Usage: Every generation has its slang expression for "great, fine," indeed, "great" is one of them. Originally meaning "large," today it is used most widely to mean "very good." "She is tops," was the expression in the 30s, following "the cat's meow," "the cat's pajamas," and "top drawer" in the 20s. "Swell" replaced "tops" in the 40s and "cool" and "hip" took their turns in the 50s. "Groovy" was the word in the hippy 60s, followed by "far out," in the 70s, "awesome" in the 90s and, now, "phat." Saying that something is "very good" seems not to appeal to anyone under 30.

Er, I think it is of English or British origin.
