Definition: swipe right


An onscreen motion that has become a meme for marital affairs because of the Tinder dating app, which popularized it. As images of all the subscribers on the service are scrolled, members swipe left to go to the next photo and swipe right to like the current photo. If two members swipe right on each other's photos, a match is made and a correspondence can begin. Swiping right or left is also used by Bumble, OkCupid and other dating programs (see dating app). See swipe left.
