SWIM being?

SWIM being?

It's a term used when explicitly declaring a personal anecdote seems inappropriate but you still want to make one. For example:

  • "SWIM is half way through a ten week testosterone cypionate cycle, what should he use for post cycle therapy?"
  • "SWIM just tried combining ecstasy, LSD and licking the back of a cane toad all at once. Best. High. Ever!"
