Okay, I give up. I don’t know if I’m part of the joke or if I’ve been stunningly whooshed. Or both, I guess.
A few weeks ago, me and a friend, also of the white female middle class persuasion, were watching Chapelle’s Show - the one with the Lil’ John skit, YEEEAHH!. Which really shouldn’t be funny, but it is and there you go.
Chapelle said something about, I forget the exact wording, how they still let you say “Skee skee skee skee” (or however it might be spelled) on the radio because white people don’t know what it means yet.
So we on the couch stared at each other for a bit and burst into gales of laughter, because, er, I guess we’re part of the joke. I know the song, but I’d just kind of thought it was nonsense syllables - what’s the mysterious dirty meaning? Is it common knowledge?
We’ve been snickering about it for weeks, but I think the time has come to find out for good and certain. What’s the Straight Dope? (Please, I gotta know. My street cred depends on it!)
I can’t tell you what it meant, because I haven’t seen that episode, but in his stand-up act, Chappelle jokes about just making slang up when he talks to white people. Maybe he was riffing off of that gag.
By the way… damn! I know that the process of making, buying, and selling drugs lends itself to a proliferation of slang descriptions, but that’s a lot of street names!
Now, you’re first clue as to what it means is the hand motions they use when they say it. Sort of a back and forth motion with a closed fist in the vicinity of the crotchal region.
Anyway, to make a long story short, skeeting is when you ejaculate all over a woman after intercourse.
Skeet = ejaculate.
I’m a white girl, and I’m not too up-to-date on the slang terms that kids these days use (ha), and to tell you the truth, I don’t remember who told me what it meant. I think someone explained it to someone else in an LJ comment. Anyhow, urbandictionary.com backs up that definition, as well as another skit on his show the other night (A Sesame Street parody, lots of puppets, one voiced by Snoop Dogg.)
I’m shocked to hear this. And you say they play this on the radio? I’m certainly going to bring this up with the other white people at next week’s meeting.
I think the old definitions of skeet and gleek are different. As I understood it, the squeezing water from between clenched teeth involved getting a mouthful of water and using air pressure to force it out between teeth. Gleeking involves moving the tongue behind the upper teeth to squirt saliva out. (Wow, gleeking is hard to explain…)
I was going to say something similar, except: Have you ever yawned real big, maybe while reading a book or newspaper, and noticed you’ve somehow sprayed a fine fist of spit all over the page? That’s gleeking, or at least it was where and when I grew up. It comes from the back of the tongue/mouth, not from between the teeth. When I was a kid, I knew a guy who could do it on command (I’ve only ever accidentally done it, despite marathon practice attempts when I was in grade school). Once, on a field trip, I watched him soak his math text book in this manner, until the thing was literally dripping. I have no idea how he was able to generate that much liquid: it was surely more than the body of a ten year old could possibly contain.
I also did not realize, until I just now recalled the story, how utterly disgusting it was. At the time, it was one of the Ten Coolest Things I’d Ever Seen.
