    “going sideways” is also bad. I guess the moral of that idiom is that directions are bad?

    I guess “going forwards intact” would be the good version.

      “going sideways” is also bad.

      “Going forward in flames” is what it should be. You’re in flames, but you’re not going up, down, or sideways (all bad), but just going forward knowing the flames will probably subside.
