Get ready for some razzle-dazzle


Explanation:
razzle-dazzle zawiera w sobie dużo dynamizmu
inf. noisy, showy, and exciting activity and display designed to attract and impress:


Never one to pass up the chance for some razzle-dazzle, I boarded the train and was humming Hakuna Matata before we'd even reached Durham.

I mean, you have tons of people on vacation, just itching for some razzle-dazzle action.

Look for some razzle dazzle, clock management that will make your head spin, and an onside kick.

...


Explanation:
Actually I'm interested in the literal Polish rudiments of this expression, it seems to say "it will happen/gun". The word "działo" can mean two things, "gun" and "happen", so the expression's basis is in the word play between these two meanings that ultimately forms a colloquial phrase conveying the notion that "something explosive will happen"

Is my reasoning correct here?? Thanks/Dziękuję

Is there positive or negative connotation linked to the expresssion??

In context, I've seen it where it's said as a warning (ie; the shit's gonna hit the fan), and Lech beer commercials use the phrase in a seemingly positive light (it's gonna rock)...
