Unfortunately i did - it was one of the peculiar conversations that comes up at work from time to time.

That and some unfortunate Googling.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Will we ever see an election poster saying: 'Labour isn't twerking'?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not sure I do now. Have to admit, I started reading the article, I thought Miley Cyrus was the bloke in the picture.

It could force The Ed Millerband into doing something at last. Maybe the poster would say 'Thank God Labour isn't twerking'

My 2 young (13) year olds were doing a dance routine a couple of weeks ago and mentioned twerking!! In my day it was called "bumping n grinding!"

Lol looks like Kelly Clarkson has just called miley Cyrus a pitchy stripper. Come on girls how can we focus on the Syrian war with you two going at it

I don't even know what it is now.

me.

 

[Randsta]

Id certainly tweak it!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Of course! Though she wasn't exactly twerking was she! It's like saying your average pub team play 'Barca tika taka'

I once watched an interview with Miley Cyrus on TV, I think it caused my brain to turn to mush for a short while. Imagine being stuck in a lift with her and Justin Bieber?

 

[Mungo_Jerry]

Surprised nobody has mentioned that she used a foam finger which I'm pretty sure we pioneered for the 83 cup final? Which pretty much makes it out fault. Still got mine in the loft so might recreate the video later on.

The etymology eludes me. If this is a portmanteau word, what two words is it composed of? I was put straight re 'slore' by my students, but I don't meet them for a few days yet.

 

[MissGull]

Nope. I had to wiki it. Felt a bit out of touch.

Wiki says fooTWoRK (doesn't make sense as it seems to be arse based)

Footwork is a genre, fact fans, A kind of garage/house hybrid. I shudder to think what I'd look like dancing to this.
