A dance move derived from the hand drying action of a Dyson Airblade.

Only occurring just prior to a 'bassline drop'. The move consists of rising both arms slowly with both wrists limp and at a 90° angle, the duration of the rise is dependent on the length of the drop.

However if the drop is of a sizeable length there is the optional act of pre-washing the hands (made by ringing hands together) and soap dispensing (an up and down pump with one hand).

The move is then completed with a full 'skanking' when the tune finally drops.

The move is best done in synchronization with a group of people, and is scheduled to be a big move in the dubstep scene.
*During the start of 'No Problem' - Chase & Status*

Leader: "get ready for the drop boy's...Dyson sweep!"

!st Commander: "It's a long drop boss, this calls for optional pre-wash!!"

Can mean stealing peoples unattended drinks. But it's usually applied to the act of drinking left over drinks in a bar left by other customers in order to get intoxicated on the cheap. Usually done by people who are highly drunk or very poor. Or a mix of any of the above.
Quentin ran out of money, but wasn't quite ready to finish drinking. He mine swept the bar area for dregs until he was sufficiently watered. A group of revellers noticed Quentin mine sweeping and immediately coiled with disgust.
