Twerking - Talk About Feeling My Age!!!
30 Answers
Although I am a music and culture writer, I am perfectly willing to accept that there are vast swathes of youth culture that do not apear on my radar, and that i am unlikely to understand.
Hence my confusion at the use of the term 'twerking' - which I happened upon this weekend reading a couple of magazines in a hotel room, and the station waiting lounge at Euston.
I now know what 'twerking is' - but my eyes were really opened when i read this on Google -
"In 2013, twerk was added to the Oxford Dictionary Online. The dictionary said the word had been around for 20 years, but the evidence for it to be included in the dictionary had tipped the scale when U.S. pop star Miley Cyrus gave a controversial and headline-producing twerking dance at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25, 2013."
The Oxford Dictionary includes words from the influence of a Miley Cirus performance???????????????????????????
I really am getting old!
