Sean Holman's definitions
A proper name or nickname variation of the British slang term spiv, which is defined as a slacker who lives by his wits or one that shirks responsibility. First heard in a Dances With Wolves scene, when Kevin Costner's character is called "Spivey" by a soldier.
That guy tells his boss he is working from home, but is really out riding his Buell motorcycle or watching baseball, what a Spivey!
Sean has had the nickname of Spivey ever since working summer camp at Lost Valley.
