Twerk
It's a dance that involves a person making their booty bounce up and down by-way of shaking their hips in an up and down motion and casually adding gyrations and dropping to the floor. The first ever mention and use of the word Twerk and ideally where it created, was first used in New Orleans bounce rap songs. In New Orleans hiphop clubs Twerkers would sometimes hop on tables, grab the wall, flip upside down and shake and twerk right on men's crotches. Twerking was introduced into hip-hop culture by way of the New Orleans bounce music scene. In 1993 DJ Jubilee recorded the dance tune "Do The Jubilee All" in which he chanted, "Twerk baby, twerk baby, twerk, twerk, twerk." The video for the song increased the popularity of twerking. Then several other bounce and local rappers began using this phrase to call upon "Twerkers" such as local New Orleans rapper 2Sweet, Cheeky Black, Partners N Crime when the NOLA (New Orleans, LA) bounce was mostly a Gulf Region underground hiphop clubs. It then became popular in clubs again in 2000 when Atlanta Rappers Ying Yang Twins in 2000 released Whistle While You Twurk. in 2011 Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka dropped the word in his popular song "Round of Applause" ft Drake when he mentioned "Twerk Team". Bandz A Make Her Dance by Memphis, TN rapper Juicy J has a lyric, "Start twerking when she hear her song", while Bronx, NY rapper French Montana ask "What you twerkin' with" in his song "Pop That".
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Nice cup! Seems to be a quality piece.
EVERY mug I have ordered online through Urban Dictionary has exceeded my expectations! Each (5) is of a very high quality: Clear/Clean printing (ink, color, sharpness, clarity), and Outstanding craftsmanship ("feels" good to hold, and you can tell it "ain't made cheap"). Your company should be proud, indeed.
The Urban Dictionary is a unique place to find anecdotal memories on all sorts of stuff. Their ongoing communication once your order is placed is excellent. I have put in a significant number of orders recently, and the communication regarding my order status is excellent. I have had one order misplaced in transit. They have contacted me to say that they will get back to me, but to this point, they have not. So, that's a bit of a caveat in my rating. Overall, I would rate their products and customer service as good. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Fill Your Boots with Whatever You Want to Order. Nice job, "Urban Dictionary."
It is special to have a mug that has to do with my dad who invented a word when we were growing up. He passed away last year. Drinking from this mug is like spending time with him.
My brother Tom became an uncle & urban dictionary created a wonderful uncle Tom mug…
I loved it! Excellent quality!
It’s great to be able to create your own mug.
Great cup. Thanks for personalizing the message
Cool
I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen
