Saloojee 

A NYC street game from the 1940s-60s, where the victim's property, usually a hat, is taken from him and tossed back and forth amongst a group to keep it away from him while the victim attempts to recover his property by running toward each person with the hat trying to intercept it as it's tossed to someone else. A sadistic version of "Monkey in the Middle."
Give Tubby back his hat! We've been Saloojee-ing that poor shmuck for months and he just cries.

White savior by loopdeloop97 June 19, 2012
Savion is the type of person who you can go to for advice. He’s trustworthy, keeps your problems between you and him. A chill ass friend who likes to spend time with his family and homeboys. He’s a very nice person with a big heart. Has a goofy ass personality, but he’s also an intellectual and is very intelligent. An all around amazing and hardworking athlete whether it’s on the court, field, etc. He’s obsessed with staying fit. He’s strong both mentally and physically. Just a little disclaimer; he’s shy when you first meet him, but once he gets comfortable around you, he’s the complete opposite.
Girl 1: Omg have you met Savion?!
Girl 2: No, he seems shy
