In basketball, after a missed shot by your team, all the players on your team gets back on defense except one. After your team gets a stop, causes a turnover, or a made basket, a team member quickly throws a full-court pass to the player who didn't get back for an easy bucket before the opposing team can recover.

A military term used when describing someone who is required to be at a certain training assignment but cannot actually begin for an extended period of time. Therefore they have to just chill in the area (like a snowbird) until they can finally conduct their assigned training. Sometimes they are given menial tasks or details, especially when snowbirding for several weeks or even months.
My training here at Sill was pushed back three months, so I'll be snowbirding until then.

v. - when your lover or partner has a cold, it is implied that you go "south" (ie: perform oral sex) in order to avoid contracting the cold.
Susan has the mad flu, but when she's hopped up on cold medicine and feeling good I go snowbirding. I don't have any sick days left.

Elderly people who travel to Florida during the winter months. They arrive after Thanksgiving, go home for Christmas and come back the day after New Years and stay until Early April.

They clog the restaurants and the roads (driving 20mph under the limit) and love to pull out in front of you when there's no one behind you. Anyone growing up in Central and South Florida will have the opportunity to learn what all the license plates of the US and Canada look like. Only benefit is these people bring their money and stimulate the economy.
Kid: "Dad why did that old man from NY just pull out in front of us and drive slow?"
Dad: "Son, its wintertime in Florida, that is a snowbird"

Elderly people vacationing/invading Florida during the winter months
A canadian snowbird coming to florida on vacation for two weeks on a package deal with $216 to spend. Elderly snowbird couple in a very large car stopped on US41 in the center lane, waiting for 600 or so cars to go past them so they can make the left turn into Denny's. The same elderly couple buying a one dollar lottery ticket at 7/11 and searching thru their purse for correct change.

Any northerner who migrates to southern states, namely Florida, during the winter months. Recognizable by poor driving habits, pale skin, and funny accents. Snowbirds can often be seen wearing shoes on the beach or blocking traffic by driving 5 under on major roads.
Did you see that snowbird try to surf!? He totally got eaten by that wave!

I went to get a burrito and it took 20 minutes because of all the snowbirds.
