Vocabulary

A new word (for me) has recently appeared in social media - "twerking" - it can be a noun or a verb.
Oxford Dictionary describes it as "Dancing to pop music in a sexually provocative manner." Wikipedia is further descriptive.  It takes me back to early visits to the Caribbean where the calypso singers all had risque lyrics filled with double entendre.  The Mighty Sparrow was a headliner in the carnival tents in Trinidad. One of the many calypso numbers they sang sounded something like this:
-"Bock to bock - belly to belly - we don't give a damn - we done dat already -
-"Bock to bock - belly to belly - it's the Goombay Jamboree."
I had the good fortune to be in Port of Spain, Trinidad at the time of a Carnival rehearsal - the sun was hot, the rum was flowing and the many steel bands (i.e. Esso) were beating their infectious rhythms. So it seems that they were twerking down there long before it hit Manhattan.
But I never could get under that limbo bar.
