Definitions

  1. An energetic swing dance, especially the Lindy Hop.

Word origin

Probably from Lindy, the nickname of US aviator Charles A. Lindbergh.

Used in a sentence

  • Lindy herself hated the name Lindy. She said it sounded like a girl in pink gingham. At the beginning of this school year she'd started making all the teachers address her by her full name, Linnet.
  • "These damned Lindys!" bubbled Janice. "Don't they play anything for old married folks?"
  • The Lindy Hop picked up where the Charleston left off, with the first swing-outs, breakaways and "shine steps" added to a basic off-beat two-step. In its early days the Lindy flourished only in lower strata of society.
