the floss
A dance where you swing your arms back and forth around your hips, like flossing your teeth with your whole body.
My little brother does the floss every time he wins at Uno.
For parents and educators
Harmless and very dated for teens, though younger kids still do it. Doing it yourself is a guaranteed eye roll.
Where it came from
Made famous by a teen dancer in 2017, then by Fortnite as an emote. Huge in playgrounds around 2018.
