Definition

In sports, a "sweep" happens when one team wins all the games in a series (typically in the playoffs), leaving its opponent with no victories. For example, if a team wins a best-of-seven series 4–0, they've completed a sweep. The term comes from the idea of one team "sweeping away" the competition without giving them a chance to win.

It's plagiarism for the streets, and nobody respects it.
