sack dance
n.— «Well, they both “did what they had to.” Doesn’t mean Al didn’t go home and kick the cat, or George didn’t do a sack dance off screen. They both came out ahead on it by being fairly low key.» —“Re: OT: Three cheers for Gore and Bush” by Karen Horn Usenet: rec.arts.theatre.musicals Dec. 15, 2000. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
