If it’s any relief to y’all, consider that it having caught the attention of white pop audiences and the MSM probably means it’s past its peak…
Well… regardless of what anyone thinks of twerking, it’s certainly a skill that you have to sort of admire when done well. Miley has neither the cakes nor the booty control to capture my attention, except to say (in the words of Bossip), “Ho sit down.”
There’s also this… thing that suggest Milesy has been on this pseudo-twerk tip for a minute.
I’ve wanted to say for ages that “Twerking” does not sound like what it is, at least to me. When I think “Raunchy, ass-tastic sexy dancing”, the word “Twerk” is not the one I’d some up with for it. Anyone got a cromulent etymology for the term?
Well, PSXer has set a whoosh record, if nothing else.
Not sure what is next but full on intercourse while dancing is allready happening.
A speculation: “There are many theories about the origin of this word, and since it arose in oral use, we may never know the answer for sure. We think the most likely theory is that it is an alteration of work, because that word has a history of being used in similar ways, with dancers being encouraged to ‘work it.’ The ‘t’ could be a result of blending with another word such as twist or twitch.” cite
Back in my day, Twerking WAS booty-popping. Darn youngsters:mad: and their fancy names.

There is twerking, and then there is twerking.
Holy squirrel that was funny. “Oh shit, I’m on fire I think I will start screaming instead of putting it out and I’m kind of tired so I think I will sit on this couch and maybe it will catch on fire too and then we can be fire buddies.”
Ultimate ass-control.
:eek: It’s Kuato!
I’m still agog from learning that in TWO of my 13 year old son’s classes, the teacher has found it necessary to add a rule to the list written on the board: “NO TWERKING.”
“Help! Help! I’m being repressed!”
