Common use in '80s/'90s. The act of a military service member driving a long distance to get home for a 72 or 96 hour liberty/holiday weekend. It is initiated as soon as the liberty starts, and the service member returns home just before the liberty ends. The act itself is a non-stop rush to make it home, enjoy time away, and return back to base. The drive involves no delays other than to stop for gas and is usually at least 7 or more hours each way.

Get the poon swooper mug.A word often used to describe a fictional story, which combines elements of idealistic, and often supernatural romance, with a very shallow and materialistic premise. It is often seen in hollywood action movies, animation and romance novels. One key characteristic of Swoopiness, is the lack of benefits received by the other character(s). An architypal example of swoopiness is the story of cinderella, where the prince 'swoops' in and saves cinderella from her miserable life, without his reasons having any realistic emotional depth, or him having any direct gain from doing so.
Swoopiness is often well received in childrens cartoons, as children are not expected or encouraged to understand the nature of relationships, however hollywood movies are often critisized for including it as a sales tactic, designed to capitalise on one particular genders ideals.
