Back in 2003, Erik Raborn stumbled on the word "swimmingly" while reading the latest Nancy Drew mystery novel. Two years later, he decided to look up the definition to this word that had been perplexing him night after night. Swimmingly, which can be easily defined as "having great success" truly spoke to Erik's enormous sense of self-appreciation and overall good looks. Since discovering the true definition of the word, Erik has wielded it at various markets of capitalistic consumerism, such as Publix, Costco, and Starbucks Coffee while engaging in petty small-talk with the markets' employees. Sources close to Erik report hearing remarks such as, "What the f#$@ did that white boy just say to me? "Swimmingly?"...I don't give a crap about who's swimming today."

Apparently it's a superstition that it will bring bad luck to the theatre. Personally I think that it isn't true. I was reading Macbeth and talking about it at my rehearsal for a play and it went swimmingly.
