Michael and his brother Richard ate battered savs on sticks as they walked across the carpark towards the beach.
Origin: From a shortened form of saveloy sausage. When used to refer to a gymnastics move or similar, the term was first coined by Roy Slaven and H.G. Nelson on "The Dream" in their commentary on the 2000 Olympics Men's Gymnastics (because the gymnast "batters his sav"). Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
