Today's Word I Hate To Say is Twerk!
Come on... You knew I had to do this one since it is now an accepted word in +Words with Friends and in the Oxford Dictionary! Thank you +Miley Cyrus ... NOT!
Oxford Dictionary - Twerk
twerk
Syllabification: (twerk)
Pronunciation: /twərk/
verb
[no object] informal
1: dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and 2:a low, squatting stance:
Examples:
just wait till they catch their daughters twerking to this song
twerk it girl, work it girl
Origin:
1990s: probably an alteration of work
Urban Dictionary - Twerk
#Twerk or #Twerking... These words give me a painful flashback to the 90's craze #Ebonics! I remember hearing, when I was younger, that California was actually considering teaching Ebonics in schools as a legitimate 2nd language. Twerk is like the last hurrah of a 25 year hangover!
Twerking made its mark on the world through the viral resource of +YouTube. Sadly, as most disturbing viral video trends go, this one caught on and was thrust (maybe a bad choice of words) upon us all by the increasingly odd behavior of Ms +Miley Cyrus. It is my professional opinion that Billy Ray Cyrus should have spent more time spanking her rebellious butt that getting nude with her for photo shoots and being #BFFs.
But I digress! I am tired of hearing the word(s), I am tired of seeing the word(s), and I am tired of all the attention Miley Cyrus is getting over her skinny butt's attempt at being cool/sexual/disgusting/etc.
