Get the Swaydar mug.Short for Shady Radar. An ability that all sheltered white people believe they posses, but is only accurate in a small percentage of them. Similar to gaydar, but instead measures the likelihood of a person or thing to commit or be involved in criminal activity.
"That kid in the glasses over there looks chill, but my shaydar says he's a low-key drug dealer."
Sheltered white kid one: "Uh oh, watch out, there's a skin head coming down the street"
Sheltered White kid two: "Nah, don't worry, that guy is just trying to look hard, he doesn't even register on my shaydar"
"I hate driving through Compton, it makes my Shaydar go crazy"
"Watch out, that cop car reads a negative 4 on my shaydar, but the cop driving it is an 8!"
"That windowless white van over there is making my Shaydar tingle!"

Get the Slaydar mug.I was at this indie show and one of the guitarists on stage was playing a seven-string Ibanez, occasionally windmilled and looked uncomfortable with NOT playing fast. My slaydar went off and I talked to him after the show; my suspicions were confirmed. We wound up talking about our favorite bands.
