What does LINDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fast, energetic swing dance that developed in Harlem in the late 1920s, short for Lindy Hop.
Dancers built the lindy around syncopated steps and swinging partner turns set to jazz and big-band music, and it became one of the defining dances of the swing era. The name is generally traced to aviator Charles Lindbergh, whose transatlantic flight was making headlines around the time the dance took shape. Long after the swing era ended, the lindy survived through dedicated dance communities and later revivals.
