Another new word in English !

Well ...... it's new to me !
BBC UK headline this morning :

Speeding driver jailed for 11 years over death of twerking couple

What on earth is twerking ?? Any connection with Twoccing ??
Google soon put me straight .....

[Veem]

Merriam-Webster says it is 'sexually suggestive dancing characterized by rapid, repeated hip thrusts and shaking of the buttocks especially while squatting.'

I've heard of it for quite a while but I shall never master how to do it!

[Pathca]

Oh twerking has been around for a good while,Miley Cyrus is / was a big exponent of it

[DominicBest]

I didn’t know it either. I read the article yesterday hoping that I might get a clue from the context. All I learned was the two who were killed hadn’t exactly helped themselves to keep safe.

[Pathca]

Nice bit of victim blaming there

[Hotrodder]

I have never been a dancer. Just watching someone twerking gives me backache, and I wonder how people can bring themselves to willingly look so stupid in public.

[ajm]

Dancing is very useful. It is the vertical expression of horizontal desire.

I wonder how people can bring themselves to willingly look so stupid in public.

Agree. We'd probably find the answer when referring to the average I.Q. of the human population.

[hughnique]

Didn't it start in the Caribbean, most of those women have generous derriere's, which they seem to like wobbling about

Nice bit of victim blaming there

I disagree. Two people standing up dancing in an open car? Is that normal? Had they been sat down and strapped in they would not have been thrown out.
