The original form of Lindy Hop, the partner dance that accompanies swing jazz.
So named because the pioneers of the dance, such as Frankie Manning and Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, were regular dancers at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem.

Those cats are crouching too low for Hollywood style, they must be doing Savoy style. They're really swingin'!

Get the Cassandra Savoy mug.
It was created when Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor, raised the County of Savoy into a duchy for Amadeus VIII. The duchy was an Imperial fief,1234 subject of the Holy Roman Empire, until 1792, with a vote in the Imperial Diet. From the 16th century, Savoy belonged to the Upper Rhenish Circle.
Its territory included the current French departments of Savoy, Haute-Savoie and the Alpes-Maritimes, the current Italian region of Aosta Valley, a large part of Piedmont and the County of Geneva in Switzerland, which was then lost to the Old Swiss Confederacy.5
Throughout its history, it was ruled by the House of Savoy and formed a part of the larger Savoyard state, which in 1720 became known as the Kingdom of Sardinia (also called "Kingdom of Savoy-Sardinia").
The main Vulgar languages that were spoken within the Duchy of Savoy were Piedmontese and Arpitan. Anyways fuck off

An adjective used to describe something that tastes incredibly sweet and sugary. It comes from the name of candy in Mackintosh's Good News known as a "savoy truffle. It was later used in the Beatles' song "Savoy Truffle" which George Harrison wrote. It is best described as a synonym for the word "sweet".
"You'll have your teeth all pulled if you keep eating all of that savoy food."
"His cakes are usually quite horrible, but this one was surprisingly savoy."
