Then why wouldn’t it be “Off like Flynn”?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bigg Red, if I told you the meaning of "In like Flynn" you'd have to Bigg-Red-pill me.

Hint: The expression originated from the 1943 rape trial of swashbuckling actor, Errol Flynn.

Seriously!???

I’ve heard nice little old ladies use that expression. Old enough to have been around at that time and if that’s where it came from I can’t believe they would have said that.

In Like Flynn Synopsis

“The biopic depicts Errol Flynn’s roust-about early life in Australia, before he became an internationally famed celebrity. In those days he was an adventurer, opium smuggler, gambler, street fighter, womanizer, and gold prospector.”
