good going

Well done there

Good going is an expression of approval or congratulation for someone's progress or achievement: You finished the whole project in one day? Good going!

It can also be used sarcastically to highlight a blunder: You locked the keys in the car—good going, genius.

The phrase treats accomplishment as forward movement.
