Get the swing on mug.People who have neither partisan nor ideological conviction at any detectible level. Most often found in the suburbs, these voters are often swayed by emotional appeals rather than philosophical, moral, or logical arguments. As such, these voters are emotionally torn pulled the two parties – they want to vote Republican as they live what they believe to be the capitalist dream of a comfortable, two-income, and sterile life in the ‘burbs (with the perception of being inoculated from those sticky urban social issues), at the same time they want to vote Democrat to assuage their guilt of their own mindless and unconscious lifestyle (such as talking racial tolerance but living in a racially homogeneous community, expressing horror at things like outsourcing jobs while drawing a paycheck from a company that does it every day, driving gas-guzzling SUVs while claiming their concern for the environment, and outwardly claiming support for their neighborhood public school systems while sending their own kids to private school). Often claiming to be independent, they criticize partisans on both sides for being closed-minded while believing there is nobility in their own indecision.
More and more people are swing voters and we wonder why no one votes (hint: if you don’t have the stones to decide where you stand, then either candidate, or even a non-vote, will do)

Get the swing voter mug.Phrase used in the Tool song Lateralus.
Contrary to the common interpretation that it is meant in the general context for people to "keep going" in and through their life, it is really meant to mean seeking and experiencing the infinite depths of divinity within our own mind and consciousness without the fear of losing ones humanity. Spiral out and experience divinity while we are still human and alive.

Get the Tire Swing mug.Shingo Yabuki - a character from SNK , The King of Fighters series. He made his debut in The King of Fighters '97.
Fighting Style
He replicates several of Kyo kusanagi moves without flames. He isn't perfect though, as he always takes out his handbook if he seems to forget a move, He also "messes up" certain moves.
Essentially he is a SNK version of dan hibiki , sakura kasugano & sean matsuda but in the king of fighters games ,
He's joke character like dan but follows & idolizes
Kyo kusanagi like sean matsuda does ken masters,
& high school kid like sakura kasugano .
Skills
Indomitable Spirit - Shingo is highly optimistic he will overcome inadequacy through hard work. However, because he isn't a member of the Kusanagi bloodline, he does not have the ability to intentionally create fire out of thin air. Despite knowing he lacks the ability to create his own flames, he continues training & sees Kyo as his inspiration to improve, with very few things able to douse his spirits.
Quick Hand - Shingo can quickly jot down notes of any ability he sees.
Quick Recall - Shingo is able to quickly re-perform techniques he's seen only once by referring to his notebook. Through constant training, he starts to rely less on his notebook & begin memorizing techniques internally.

Get the Shingo Yabuki mug.How Sky Williams, a popular League of Legends YouTuber and all around funny human being, appeals to his teammates in order to win games, acquire ELO, and climb the ranked ladder. "Swinging the neck" involves metaphorically, and only sometimes literally, giving an allied League of Legends summoner oral sex to make them feel good and boost their confidence on the rift.
Sky - "Ooooooooo this Draven just double killed bot lane? Lemme swing the neck on this Draven dick."
Ryan - "Oh god I had this Fiddle last game who was so troll, he went like 0/20 and build a BT."
Sky - "Shoulda swung the neck nigga."
