singing in cursive

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.

Sandinga

A tiny yellow monster, similar to the Sandman from Spiderman 3, living inside an unsuspecting girl who has either been to the beach or playing in a sandpit without wearing form fitting underwear.

Sandingas live in the warm coastal sand ready to crawl up a woman's leg and settle in the lining of the Uterus from which they travel down into the vaginal cavity in search of food.

A warning to all mankind, check for Sandingas before penetration, they will not hesitate to munch on fingers, hands, feet, noses, toes, tongues and penis'.
I was tempted to have sex with Maria but when I peeked inside her vagina a Sandinga tried to suck out my eyeball.

I was so embarrassed at the doctor's surgery when I showed him my half eaten finger and confessed I didn't check for a Sandinga first.

sarging

The act of going out for the explicit purpose of either
1) working on skills to attract the opposite sex; or
2) putting those skills to effect.
1) "Dude, my bro and I are going out sarging tonight at Club Xtreme. We need to work on reducing our approach anxiety."

2) "Dude, my bro and I are going sarging tonight at Club Xtreme. Hopefully I can use my acquired skills to pull an SHB11 after negging, out-alpha-ing AMOGs, establishing a jealousy plotline, doing a venue change, setting up a time bridge, bouncing to the seduction location and then overcoming last minute resistance. And maybe her hot roommate will come along for the ride."
