Sentence: That lady with the ugly, red skirt was holding her puke-green handbag while talking on her cell phone with the other hand, until finally exiting at the 114th Street station, subswaying all the way uptown like a pro -- a remarkable display of Metropoise, in my opinion.
Etymology: subway - an underground electric railroad (sub-, Latin prefix, "under" & -way, Old English, wegh "road") + sway - to move or swing to and fro (Middle English, sweyen)
