What were Daisy Dukes called before Dukes of Hazzard?

After a little Googling, I see that it wasn’t **2Live Crew **- it was 69 Boyz.

69 Boyz - Daisy Dukes

Okay, so it was actually Duice, and the actual song title is “Dazzey Duks”.

“Dazzey Duks” was the title of rap duo Duice’s only charting single. But that’s quite an accomplishment since the single sold two million copies. The sole hit single from Los Angeles native L.A. Sno and Creo-D., who hailed from Barbados, was inspired by the short shorts worn by the character Daisy Duke on the CBS-TV hit series The Dukes of Hazzard.

And the last episode of Dukes of Hazzard aired in 1985.

I think in the time between 1985 and 1992, you were more likely to hear “She looks like Daisy Duke in those cut-offs” than “Look at her in those Daisy Dukes”

I don’t think I’ve heard people generically refer to individual non-Apple mp3 players as “ipods” before.

I have. Well, sort of. I someone asks me if I have an iPod, I might just say yes, if the particular brand of my mp3 player is unimportant to the conversation and would otherwise derail it.

And really, neurolinguistically, the N word simply means “black”. Negre’ is quintessentially a color word, but we have since supplanted that with culture and politics, unfortunately.

And “black” is simply “lack” with a “b” in front of it! Neurolinguistically, it’s quite interesting, because it originally meant, “be lacking,” using of course the dialect and referring to the general financial status of the the very people the modern term eventually came to refer to. Language evolves.

Really, neurolinguistically, the word Black, or Blacken is more related to Burning or the Ink industry. The written word, Blarg und weiss. Kinda like pencil lead. All of which involves an incendiary process. We burning your base.
