Southwest Philly Floater

A shot in basketball where a smaller offensive player floats the basketball over taller defenders who swat helplessly at air attempting to block it. Also known as a teardrop or floater, the term was coined by La Salle guard Tyrone Garland, who honed the craft of this shot as a youth on the rugged streets of Southwest Philly. He ended Ole Miss's Sweet Sixteen dreams by dropping the SW Philly Floater on them for a game winner in the 2013 NCAA Basketball Tournament, making him an instant Philly hoops legend.

Foul Floating Filth

The nefarious process of creating a commode-filling, toilet tissue supported, shit-flotilla in an attempt to air-expose as much fecal material as possible, thus maximizing both odor and offence for subsequent, unsuspecting patrons; frequently deployed in the bathroom facilities of restaurants with poor service, gas stations with exceedingly foul rest room hygiene and other locations deserving of passive-aggressive retribution.
