Swing by

Pro Tip 1/3

Casual Intent

Implies an informal, short, and unplanned visit, rather than a scheduled or formal one.

If I finish early, I might swing by the cafe.

Pro Tip 2/3

Quick Stop

Suggests the visit will be brief, often because the person is already on the go.

Can you swing by the store and grab some milk?

Pro Tip 3/3

On the Way

Often used when the destination is convenient or along the route to the final destination.

I'll swing by the post office since it's on my way home.
