goings on

1. Things that are happening.

2. Things happening that can be either distracting or in such a broad scope that it is hard to comprehend them.

I can't seem to concentrate with all of these scientific goings on.

Note: The plural form is the only form, and thusly can be used in place of when singular forms would appear.

I can't seem to concentrate with all this scientific goings on.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going

What this means is that when faced with difficulties and adversity, those who are mentally and physically resilient do not give up, but formulate an effective and disciplined plan of action which they initiate and carry through to a successful conclusion.

"Despite getting stuck with the fallout from Malcolm's fuck-up, Nick got everything sorted inside of a week!"
"Yeah, when the going gets tough, the tough get going."

going full troll

Going full troll — extensive actions designed to see how far partners in any arena will go with you no matter how badly you are treated.

Donald Trump is going full troll on the Republican Party by publicly dining with anti-semites and White Supremacist; then doubling down by call for the rejection of The Constitution of the United Stated.
