Competition #4: Silly Definitions "S"

Competition #4: Silly Definitions "S"
Quote:STRUMPET: (noun) A brass musical instrument with a flared bell, three valves, and fretted strings.
Above, an extract from our fractured dictionary. Competitors are asked to invent a suitably silly redefinition for an existing word that begins with "S".

called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the sun grows dim and cold....

May as well start off this shindig with my usual half-assed entry, just so everybody else can post entries that are better. Since I'm using an unusual word, I've linked to its actual definition... and to the definition that I'm riffing off of.
SISTREN: (noun) A group of altogether
cool and precious female relatives.
Oh, what the hey - have another entry. This one might actually show I'm right to think that I'm a wit. (Or maybe I'm just half right.)
SHINDIG: (noun) A dance you'd be lucky to be able to walk away from.
