I think "sashay" is a fun word! I've heard it several times through the years, but I don't think I've used it in a sentence. When I hear or read "sashay", I think of someone walking away, with their hand in the air, a flip of the hair, and an attitude with dramatic flair! (Hey! I just made up a poem!) My mental image doesn't exactly fit the definition I found. I did a web search on this word, and most of the information was about runway models on the catwalk. (See video.) Are you familiar with this word? What do you think of it?

In my country, the word 'sashay' sounds like a sachet. We do shake it before using them.

This word reminds me of the song New Orleans Ladies. Beautiful song, it says, "they sashay by".
