swanny?
How common is the phrase "go down the swanny" in British English?
It sounds very casual to me and I would normally choose "go down the drain" but perhaps it's ok to use it in everyday converstion?

I would say it's fairly common in everday conversation in BrE. Not everybody would know the derivation, though. Look HERE for more background.
