What the heck is a swing?

It has received many a mention in the Les Mis debate.

You are right - 'swings' comes from the Yankee "swing-shift"

Roundabout - depends which side of the big pond your on - it could become a carousel. There again it also depends if your are a "warm prop" - as all things are normaly missunderstood. But if you are a 'black duck' [one of the chosen] all these things become a 'revolve'.
I'm sure this is not what the question is about.
Although, on the other hand, with those that only emote on the boards - they might actually understand. Could it possibly be true - they realy have a reason for mote'n about.
