Twerking: Added to Oxford Dictionary!

 Twerking has made been given the pass mark, along with new hip words "fauxhawk" (i.e. the David Beckham haircut), "phablet" (phone and tablet combined) and "selfie" (see any Jenelle Evans photo). 
 As for the definition of Twerking? The dictionary editors say that "twerk" has actually been around for 20 years.
 Apparently, it began as a variation of "to work" ... as in, "Work it girl!"
 Twerking is also described as a portmanteau of "twist" and "jerk." Whether you're twisting, jerking, working it or all of the above, people generally take it to mean dancing in a fervent, sexually suggestive fashion. 
Wikipedia calls Twerking a "dance that involves shaking the hips and bottom in a bouncy, up and down motion, causing it to shake, 'wobble' and 'jiggle.'"
 The Urban Dictionary defines it as "a series of movements
made by females of the humanoid variety as an expression of contempt for their fathers." Or, alternately, "rhythmic gyrating of lower fleshy extremities in a lascivious manner with the intent to elicit sexual arousal or laughter in one's audience."

Now that you know, update your vocabulary and pass exams with twerking. It's legal! \\lol.......
