Sashay

I noticed in the news this morning that AOC (our favorite Congress-lady) came to use the expression 'sashay' in comments yesterday.

It's not a typical expression or word used in modern-day America.  In fact, you'd have to go and watch 1930s movie to hear it used a good bit.

Sashay typically means you are are out walking, and you've got some kind of weird hip and shoulder action, which might indicate you got 'lucky'.....won some poker game.....walking in some gaudy fashion to impress guys....or acting out some theatrical image.

For you older guys, this means your hip is swinging out in some funny way and your shoulder is literally throwing your elbow outwards. 

How AOC came to view and toss that word out there?  Unknown.  She must have been watching a couple of 1930s movies and caught the word.
