What does SASHAY mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To walk in a confident, swaying, showy way, often with exaggerated movements of the hips.
To sashay is to move as if every eye were on you, usually with a gliding stride and a deliberate sway. The word is an Americanized spelling of the French chasse, a gliding step in dance, and it kept a link to square dancing, where a sashay moves partners sideways past each other. In everyday talk it describes someone strolling in with swagger, whether proudly or to annoy. A writer may use it for a catwalk walk or for a person who simply breezes into a room.
