Wiping your privates and pits with a damp
wash cloth to keep yourself minimally
clean while avoiding taking a full on bath or shower. Most commonly done when you are sick to avoid getting pneumonia. If you are a kid, its called a shwi-shwi, if you are an
adult its called a whore's bath.
Jacob: Mom can I take a bath? Its been 3 days already and I feel
gross.
Mom: No
Jacob, you are still running a high fever, take a shwi-shwi instead to clean up.
