    Twerking is a combination of twisting and jerking, it started out in the Dancehall scene when folks like Lady Saw started breaking into the scene in the 80s.

    I thought it was Count Twerking, who was at the time trying to find something to do in between his unquenchable thirst for wine drinking, monocle polishing, sideburns grooming and his notorious love of the men...

    Never thought I'd see the day Lady Saw gets mentioned in a forum post (apart from the ones I've tried to start myself).

    I thought it was invented by Miley Cyrus.

    Twerking was around was before Miley was born!

    In the 80s it was called Bogling. As someone said, just re-branding of an old, old thing.

    Bogle and the twerk are two very different dances. Bogle is more hand movements in the air where as a twerk is about shaking your backside. Both very 80's and very much born from the dancehalls in Jamaica.

    That sounds more like the YMCA. The bogle is a ripple with hands.

    I've seen lots of animals do it on Dave Attenborough programs.
