verb
to perform an action with unrestrained enthusiasm; to pretend to shotgun a beer
What does get sendy mean?
Get sendy has a variety of meanings. Its oldest sense is “to perform an action with abandon and daring.” More recently it has been used in a somewhat nonsensical manner, as a phrase accompanying the speaker pretending to shotgun a beer (doing so with something other than a beer, such as a pencil, or a piece of paper). This later use, unsurprisingly, is largely found among younger teenagers. The word sendy by itself has also been used as a synonym for "confident" or "daring." (For those lucky enough to be unfamiliar with the aforementioned sense of shotgun, it describes a certain method of drinking a can of beer: one makes a hole near the bottom of the can, placing one's mouth over said hole, and then opens the beer top, all while holding the can above one's head. This causes the beer to flow down one's throat with considerable rapidity.)

Sendy itself is thought to have come from earlier snowboarding jargon, send it, which means “engage in an activity with joyful abandon and without regard to safety or planning.”
Like yesterday, there are about 30 people in the room, mostly older men. "Bob's Mogul Camp" is written in big letters across a whiteboard and next to the bulleted verbiage listing various ski techniques and tactics for proper mogul skiing. In the margin, someone has taken the liberty of scribbling, "if you're a snowboarder, forget these rules and just send it."
