  -> So please explain to me, in your own meaningful words, the expression 'one fell swoop'' (or, as a Californian friend of mine likes to put it, one swell foop)...

agree  Diarmuid Kennan: 'fell' as in felling a tree, 'swoop' as in the 'swing' of an axe; thus, felling a tree with one blow, solving a problem with one brief action.
