Have you twerked?

Oh, thank goodness. I thought you were going to link to this.

(oops!)

I didn’t know there was a name for this, I just always assumed it was part of wining.

Only unintentionally.

No. Just no.

Am I the only one who really dislikes the name “twerking”? It’s just such a sharp, angular word, for a very rounded and curvy activity. It doesn’t fit at all. And at least with “booty popping”, you know what you’re getting: Nobody ever had to ask what booty popping means.

That is slightly hilarious.

Good Lord! With my back? No way. I’d immobilize myself halfway down to the starting position!

A long time ago I was playing a scary game, alone, in the dark. In the middle of a tense scene one of my cats decided to jump in my lap; he launched into the air with a feline battle cry that absolutely set me off.

I may, in theory, have twerked as my ass spontaneously propelled itself toward the ceiling. I wasn’t really looking at the time. When you move that much ass that far in such a short period of time there’s usually a modest level of jiggle involved.

As a man, I don’t expect my ass to jiggle, but such is life in the states.

Definitely not just you. ‘Twerk’ sounds too much like the bastard son of ‘Jerk’ and ‘Twat’.

I agree completely.

Call me crazy, but I’m rather fond of that Mom twerking in that Campbells soup commercial. Link

I’ve certainly given it my level best.

Me, I have the opposite problem: too much booty to twerk. Apparently there is a zone where those who have the proper amount of booty may twerk within.

Yes.

:: hangs head in shame ::

I taught “booty poppin’” when I was teaching dance classes. In fact, in my introduction class, I wouldn’t let the women out of my class unless they could demonstrate a booty pop/twerk. It didn’t have to be very good, they just had to pop it. I still think it’s stupid and not really a dance move. I taught it as a joke to make the class more fun and silly.

Well, it’s been a while since I did (at least in public), but…

And no one shot you? Amazing!

That’s not even close to what we’re talking about.

That’s the Running Man, not twerking! [/80s kid grown up]

This is twerking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mYqNh9cYlo …mesmerizing, actually.

No! It looks like a sure fire way to put my back out of commission forever. Though it’s rather amazing to watch, how do they even do that?

I don’t really know, but I’m pretty sure either one of them could crush my skull between their knees like an overripe melon.
