You can also use "goin' in" to mean going hard, doing well, making an effort in pretty much any domain. "Are you kidding me? Shag Cilla Black for a grand? Mate I'd go in for a grand".

This! Its always meant shit and will forever mean shit.

I got confused when someone said on the interwebs "I got swagger" I was like.. "You got WHAT?" in my head... So confusing.

No mention of "deep" though - meaning something bad, dark, grim..

Just watch Human Traffic a few times. 99% of slang's meaning will become evident in context.
