What does that mean? What does "swing from the chandelier" stand for? OK. I already know what it literally means but seems like it's an expression also. Kind of a term in English. I just don't know.. Thanks

As far as I know, this isn't an idiom. It's just an amusing image to represent an unlikely thing that someone might do when they are excited or out of control. For example: 'Were your parents pleased when you told them your news?' 'Well, they weren't exactly swinging from the chandeliers, but... yes, I guess I they were fairly pleased. '
