    If something goes gangbusters, or someone comes in like gangbusters, it happens very fast, with a lot of energy, and often with loud success. Sales can be gangbusters; a person can start a job like gangbusters, charging in and getting a huge amount done. This is American informal talk, from the old radio show Gang , which opened with , guns, and shouting — so “like gangbusters” first meant “as noisy and sudden as that opening”. Today the noise has ; the word keeps the speed and the force. You will meet it in US news, sport, and business chat. British speakers may not use it, and it is too casual for a formal report. It is usually an adverb or adjective in set patterns (like gangbusters, going gangbusters), not a word you freely build new sentences around.
