I heard about this phrase in the movie ” Sweet Home Alabama” where in Melanie is talking to her mother about them not visiting her in New York for Christmas. And her mother said something and she said this phrase.
Thanks in advance!!

Swing Both Ways Meaning
-
The word “door” in this phrase sort of means the same as what “door” meant in the phrase “When one door closes, a window opens.” It refers to opportunity, or possibilities. Means you can go both ways.
-
I think in this context it probably means… “don’t complain about us not coming to visit you, because you could come and visit us as well!”
Hope that makes sense.

There are two sides to every story!
-
It is either the door swings both ways, or the doors swing both ways.
If it’s the first, I guess it’s like the pendulum swings both ways. Don’t you?
-
Either way. One way or another. It has another meaning .. The Door Can Swing Both Ways: Person are who enjoys having sexual relations with both sexes.
-
It basically means that what you can do to someone, they can do to you. Depends of course on context.
-
It kind of means there isn’t just one option. There isn’t just one you can go, you can go another, or even come back the way you came.
