breeze past

Glide by effortlessly

To breeze past is to move quickly and effortlessly by someone or something, often with an air of confidence or without acknowledgment: She breezed past the receptionist without stopping.

It can also mean to complete something with ease: He breezed past the qualifying round.

The phrase suggests smooth, unimpeded motion—like a breeze passing through.
