I have honestly never heard that word before.
I guess the schools I went to couldn't afford to teach it

It's kind of a newspaper word, though.

Yes.
Even when the government have increased spending in one department by four-fold in the past ten years, cutting it back by 5% is a swingeing cut apparently, according to the tabloids.

I was wondering how many people googled swingeing today
I thought maybe it was some kind of sex party typo sort of thing...
