Get the big swinging dick mug.Related Words
When one sings and repeatedly mispronounces and/or slurs parts of words, requiring those listening to guess (usu. incorrectly) from context what the lyrics actually are. Like reading words written in cursive requires the reader to guess each word from its legible parts, listening to signing in cursive requires the listener to guess each word from its intelligible parts.
Extensive slur-based singing in cursive in a single musical piece can also be referred to as "singing in italics."
Singing in cursive can be intentional or unknowing. Unknowingly singing in cursive generally results from a high level of intoxication. Intentionally singing in cursive is a modern choral technique, typically utilized in unoriginal pop songs and coupled with straining one's voice. One might intentionally sing in cursive out of boredom or, as in the case of pop music, as a marketing strategy to goad listeners into discussing with others the artist's derivative work and/or to generate search engine queries to boost or maintain the singer's fleeting relevance.

Example 1: Singing in Cursive (Unknowing)
Ashley: Did you hear the last woman who sang?
Michael: No, I was in the loo. Was she any good? She didn't sound good from the loo.
Ashley: The woman approached the karaoke mic after 6 vodka sodas and proceeded to sing in cursive... doctor's handwriting cursive... we knew the title of the song, but everything else was unintelligible.
Example 2: Singing in Cursive (Intentional)
Friend: (Singing Britney Spears's "Hold It Against Me") Hey,... you might think... that I'm crazy... but, you know I'm just your type... I might be... little hay-light...
Me: Dude, it's Little HAZY.
Friend: Um, no, she's definitely not saying hazy.
Me: Yeah... well, she's just singing in cursive. It's a thing. Look up the lyrics, bro.

Get the singing in cursive mug.The act of dragging out a relationship with someone while having dishonest intentions. This can be applied to friendships or dating. The person stringing along the victim usually is getting something selfish or one-sided out of the situation such as sex, money or attention from others. This usually ends poorly for the person being strung along. The victim is sometimes aware of the situation but does not break the cycle due to them being a tool, insecure, spineless or gaining something less from the relationship such as not being completely alone even though they are being used. People performing this act are usually Chav's.
"You still dating Janet?" "Yeah I'm going to string her along until the sex runs out." or "I'm going to keep stringing along that married guy until he stops spending money on me or his wife finds out."
