Dime’s Definitive Summer Flossary

Swavor: A combination of swagger and flavor. Used to describe something in a positive light. For example: “That dude’s got swavour.”

Fluke buckets: A lucky or accidental shot/touchdown/homerun/goal. For example: In the Japan vs. U.S. Women’s World Cup final, a Japan player dribbled down the sideline and fired a cross. As she struck the ball, a crowd gathered in front of the goal, awaiting the incoming pass. The ball however, was heading directly for the goal. Hope Solo, in preparation for the cross, backed up to the painted line of the goal. As the misguided ball made its descent, Solo scrambled to adjust, but it was too late. The ball landed in front of Solo, one-hopped her swiping hand, and bounced into the goal. In other words, FLUKE BUCKETS!!!!!!

Suss: Something questionable or out of the ordinary. For example: “I found a hair in my salad. That’s suss.”

Switching up the swag: Breaking away from a normal routine. For example: Dylan, a fellow intern, dressed up one day for work, thus, “switching up the swag.”

Jiggas: One thousand dollars. For example: “Yo, that’s a lot of jiggas.”

Crispy/Icy: Something that looks good. For example: “That hat is crispy.” “That shirt is icy.”

Cooking: Doing well at your current activity. For example: “Jaimie was cooking out there! He must have had like 40 points.”

My son: An NBA or college basketball player you admire. For example: “Joe Johnson is my son!”

Flugaze: Being a bandwagon sports fan. For example: “He’s a Mavericks fan now? Man, that’s flugaze.”

Brick: Cold temperature. For example: “My hands were frozen this morning. It was so brick…”

Spicy: Hot in temperature, as opposed to taste. For example: “It’s so spicy outside! Must be like 104.”

No. 1 Swindler: A sketchy guy. For example: “He was trying to get with my girl – dude’s a No. 1 swindler.”

The following terms all having similar meanings. The number next to each word symbolizes it’s increasing seriousness. Put it this way, you DO NOT want to be called one of these.

Definitions below provided by fellow intern Jaimie Canterbury:

(1) Loaf: You can recover, you have time to come back. For example: “You didn’t draft Bismack?!” “I loafed!!!”

(2) Scroaf: You can’t come back from that. For example: “Casey Anthony is a scroaf.”

(3) F— boy: The worst thing you can be. No example can provide this Herculean-sized insult justice.

The End.
