: Where did the phrase "swing for him" orginate.
: Is it to kill him and then swing at the end of a rope or
: swing an arm to punch him. I don't know where it originated and, for a colloquial phrase like this one, you aren't ever likely to find out. The meaning is well-known though - at least here in the UK - and that's the second of your two suggestions.
