Not to be confused with the
grim "legalese" term for the infamous auto-insurance-fraud procedure, this phrase refers to a totally-positive-and-pleasant action that you employ while interacting with small
children. It begins when an eager
innocent-minded pint-size comes racing towards you at full speed with a big grin and his arms held out; you therefore hastily reach down and swoop up said hurtling youngster in your arms while simultaneously "doing a quick one-eighty pirouette" to rapidly swing him around with you, as well, so that he doesn't lose much of his accumulated momentum. You then swiftly squat down again and deposit him back on his feet so that he can continue
running as if nothing had stopped him or even slowed him down much.
About
da only time dat you would not perform a "swoop up and squat down" is if
da child either appears to be upset and thus needs comforting, or desires a quickie-cuddle ("To win in life'
s race, children need plenty of lap time"), in which case you should instead simply sit down and cradle said closeness-craving youngster on yer knee. Be sure to keep in mind, however, dat you
may need to spend at least a few minutes at dis endeavor, even if
da child merely wants a few seconds of "lovies", since any other observing youngsters in
da general vicinity
may notice said affectionate clasping and decide dat dey would like a little snuggle-time from you, as well. It's just like if a hot chick is allowing a mushy-hearted fellow to massage her pretty feet, and one or more other nice guys happen by and observe da fun activity; it
may cause said girl-loving dudes to experience a sudden misty-eyed craving for cute
toes, as well, and so said damsel
may therefore be obliged to remain seated there for some time while all of da guys "take turns wif her tootsies", eventually leaving her feet totally "burnished and polished" from having all da callouses rubbed off from her slender soles.
