What the bloody fuck is Twerking

Yeah. What the fuck is this word that keeps showing all over the shop?

What does it mean, and what deranged mind created it?

Bending over and waggling your ass jerkily to and fro.

well that just raises further questions.

1. Am I really getting that old? Because when I was a young'un we called it booty shaking.

2. How did we get "Twerk"? I mean... it's just.

3. Why? Just... Why? I mean... it's ridiculous.

I think I need to lie down.

It's still booty-shakin' (also known as "booty poppin'"), only mainstream culture (i.e. white people) decided it needed a new name. And no, I don't know why.

I'm pretty sure "twerk" has the added connotation that you're doing it with said booty pressed up against someone else's crotch. I could be wrong, but that was how it was used when I was in high school and how I still see it used now.

Huh, most crotch-to-ass (or crotch-to-crotch) dancing usually fell under the umbrella of "grinding" when I was coming up. But I could be wrong, I wasn't exactly the person people discussed these things with as a matter of course.

Hm, I heard "grinding" a bit too, moreso when I was younger. Maybe "grinding" refers specifically do what the person in the back is doing.

People shaking their booty so it jiggles a lot but they don't actually move the booty around that much.

Wow. Did you time travel from six months ago?

But, yeah, what the people above me said.

Re: What the bloody fuck is Twerking

(Anonymous) 2013-11-01 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
DA

I've been trying to figure out what it means for six months too, Context suggested it was some weird new dance move. Then I saw it was just a blatant repeat of Madonna's choreography ca. 1989.

please watch this short, informative educational video which should clear up any confusion you might have on the subject:

Google is your friend.

But would you really want twerking in your search history?

Re: What the bloody fuck is Twerking

[personal profile] fingalsanteater 2013-11-01 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously? It's just people shaking their clothed asses? It's not like it's the equivalent of searching "erotic cannibalism" or "Sportacus porn."

I was watching Lazytown for the first time the other day and, sorry, but Sportacus is hot. And I ship him with Robbie.

He totally is. Frankly, i ship Sportacus and Stephanie. AND Sportacus and Robbie. Heee. My daughter used to watch that show and i thought it was cute as hell. Plus, you know - extremely fit guy bouncing all over the place in skin-tight...tights?

Yes, please!

You can always erase that history and feel good about yourself.

Or keep it in there and be proud of your internet decisions >:)

there's also incognito mode, which doesn't store history. I believe all browsers have some version of it.
