Examples of use of upsweep
1. "But she has a history of coming through in big events." The Heaths have tried to ignore the contrail of their daughter‘s political comet, the soaring upsweep from unknown governor to national celebrity, fashion heroine and triumphant stump speaker, followed by a swoon in popularity resulting from uncertain answers under hard questioning.
2. "It‘s really helped business, I tell you that." Farther down Main Street, the new Ivory Bill Nest craft store sells an array of woodpecker T–shirts, jewelry and assorted trinkets, while Penny‘s Family Hair Care offers a $25 "Woodpecker Haircut." For twice the price of a regular cut, store owner Penny Childs will give customers a Mohawk (or simply do an upsweep of hair) and spray it bright red: She estimated about 50 people have opted for the do in recent months.
