going great guns I know the meaning, but I'd like to know the origin of the phrase "going great guns". I have been unable to find it online .... they just keep giving me the definition and examples of the words.
Thank you, Elaine

Re: going great guns Cool site, corum.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
