Adult cartoons

[Uzoma]

What does it mean when there is a phrase 'adult swim' in the corner of a cartoon? I usually see it in cartoons on the cartoon network after 8 or 9 o'clock. I understand adult but swim???

It's to do with a cartoon network called (shock horror) "Adult Swim". They're behind the kind of cartoons for grown ups that have become all the rage these days. www.adultswim.com for all the details you need.
