Swish (disambiguation)

- Swish can refer to an inexpensive alcoholic beverage made in Canada by steeping water in barrels that have previously held some sort of commercially produced beverage grade alcohol (whisky, brandy, etc.). Residual alcohol leeches out of the wood and mixes with the water. Because the result has a high methanol content, it is very potent but also poisonous and potentially lethal. Initially a hazard found in common use among frontiersmen and the uneducated, it has recently become a favorite among University students, possibly due to its potency and low cost.
- Swish is effeminate behaviour and interests (camp), emphasized and sanctioned (Kleinberg 1978), in gay male communities. This behaviour is also described as nelly.
- Swish is the nickname given to Chicago Cubs baseball player Bill Nicholson due to his mighty swing which missed often.
