swoopie 

A word coined by the eminent wildlife photographer Alex Wild to describe the flight pattern of a certain species of firefly (or lightning bug, a beetle from the family Lampyridae), particularly when such flight is captured on a composite stack of photographic images.

This photo shows two species around sunset, one making spots along the ground, and the other doing swoopies higher in the air.

Got Swooped 

When you fucked up so bad that YouTuber Swoop would make a multi hour long expose video dedicated to detailing your demise.

When the man made false accusations, doctored evidence, cosplayed a victim, victim blamed real victims, and then admitted he was inappropriately in group chats with minors was the moment he got Swooped.

Swooping 

Surreptitiously checking Urban Dictionary during a game of Cards Against Humanity, because you have no idea what the card you just drew means.

When I drew the "Swooping" card, I knew I would be swooping it.

Swooper 

Noun
A person who hits on, flirts with, or generally acts interested in someone who is already actively being sought after in a romantic or sexual sense, drawing attention away from the original interested party to himself or herself.

I was talking with this hottie at the party when a swooper interrupted our conversation and would not leave him alone for the rest of the evening.
