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.”
