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.

Aura

The invisible energy or vibe a person radiates, now quantified by Gen-Z as if it were a video game stat. You can gain or lose 'aura points' based on your actions. Tripping in public? Minus 500 aura. Perfect comeback? Plus 1000 aura. Life is now scored.
