What is the meaning of "Glide right on in"?
Hi, everyone.

What is the meaning of "Glide right on in" or "Glide on in"?
I saw this phrase quite a lot on search.

I understand the meaning of "Glide", but why they use "on in" together after the word?

For example, in the SNL comedy,
Flight attendant says
"Sounds like we're just gonna glide right on in" when they expect their plane is going to have emergency landing.

Thanks in advance!

Answer

"Glide" is what a plane does when the engines aren't working. It just continues to fly on the momentum it had.

So, for the emergency landing, the pilot is going to glide the plane to the ground, or "glide on in" to the airport.
