Lindy. Shortened name for Lindy Hop, the mother of all swing dances. The name comes from a 1927 news headline which proclaimed Lindy Hops the Atlantic with reference to Charles Lindbergh's legendary flight. The dance is between partners, one leader and one follower, typically a man and woman.
Howdy is an informal greeting, commonly thought to have originated as a shortened form of the greeting How do you do?. It was first recorded as part of the South England dialect in 1680.[1] Literature from that period includes the use of How-do, how-do and How as a greeting used by the Scottish when addressing Anglo settlers in greeting. The double form of the idiom is still found in parts of the American Southwest as Howdy, howdy.
