Swiss

A way to describe a person who is overly-afraid of personal or public confrontation with the direct goal of neutrality in all uncomfortable situations.

A person that is "Being Swiss," generally lets other people take advantage of them, wants everyone to like them, and is completely neutral in situations that don't warrant it, at the expense of their dignity, personal code of ethics, and others' respect.

Typical responses to perfectly acceptable instances of confrontation include:

1. "I'm over it."
2. "Hey...Each to his own."
3. "It's all good." (When they know it's not).
4. "I'm just sayin'.

--"Hey, man, that guy just totally pissed all over your car! You not gonna do nothin' about it?"

--"I'm over it, man. Each to his own." (shrugs/walks off)

--"Dude, why you gotta be all Swiss about it??"

--*no response in the effort to remain Swiss and to not appear as taking sides on the matter* (still walking away)

--"Man, you gotta stop being all SWISS about everything!!"

--"It's all good, bro." (still walking...)

--"Man..........<sigh>" (throwing up arms in disgust)
