Swangin

When my boys were growing up, if they took an idea from someone else they called it "swangin'" or "swangin' off," as in "Andy was swangin' off Ted's plan to build his own helicopter."
(They were ghetto stylin', but also nerds.)

So today, AJ was soaking two cookie sheets under some hot dish cloths because he had melted some waxy paper on them by accident. Our cookie sheets are NOT ghetto stylin' - they are more like "high fallutin"; they are "airbakes" and cost a lot, (well, in our world it's a lot.)
So I said, " I bet you could get that off with a Brillo pad," and AJ said,
"Oh, I'm ghetto stylin'."
Which means he was also swangin'.
