shwaesty

A mashup of 'sweet' and 'tasty' used to describe someone or something cool, though it sounds like what happens when you sneeze mid-compliment. It's trying very hard to become the next big slang term but will probably remain confined to that one friend group that invented it. Points for creativity, minus points for actually sounding good.
