Question

What does to go with the flow mean?

Answer 1

In ancient times when the cities would get very dirty they would reroute the nearest river to flow through and clean up the city.  Everybody would get on their boats and wait for the rush of water and "go with the flow".  It meant that your house had just been cleaned.

Answer 2

it means do what the majority want to do...e.g. everyone wants chinese dinner tonight except you...but you'll go along with it anyway....if that makes sense!!

Answer 3

"the flow" is referring to the water. like you know how in the ocean the waves move toward you? well if you go with the ocean it can take to you places that you never thought of going, but they end up being good places. if you fight the waves, you will never know where you could've been and will be stuck in the same place. same with the phrase. "go with the flow" of life and you will experience new things, both good and maybe sometimes bad.
