"going away"

[Jonathan Lighter]

Famous Dr. Wendy Walsh on CNN: "And it creates many barriers going away."

That means "many barriers but I don't want to end my sentence there."

To that extent, it's even less meaningful than "going forward."

I've heard it a number of times on TV news in the past couple of years.
