Mila, when your old enough to see this you won’t even know
what Twerking is, and I hope you never do.
Here is a little definition of what is so popular these days is the
dance world.
Twerking is a type of dancing in which an individual,
usually a female, dances
to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving movements and
a low
squatting stance. Though
the term seems to be of uncertain origin with common assumptions suggesting it
is a contraction of "footwork" and a portmanteau of
the words "twist" and "jerk", there is evidence from
ethnographic interviews in New Orleans that the term began as street language
in New Orleans with the rise of the local hip-hop music known as Bounce. Since
the late 1990s, twerking was associated with Bounce music of the Dirty South
and was disseminated via mainstream hip hop videos and popular video-sharing
sites since the mid 2000s. In 2013, twerk was added to the Oxford Dictionary Online. The
dictionary said the word had been around for 20 years. The word was a runner-up
in the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2013.
