I think the moves have been around for a few thousand years.

The rebranding, I don't really care.

Definitely NOT! Twerking has been around for years. Miley Cyrus can't twerk anyway.

Twerking is when you shake and whine your arse in a sexually, dirty way. :kitty:

You need to have some description of an arse to twerk, not be an arse.

I thought it was developed from dancing to Bounce music in New Orleans.

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

The Bogle is a completely different move altogether. The clip of Josephine Baker was a treat.

It definitely wasn't Miley Cyrus.

According to this the word has been in use for 20 years.

I always thought it was invented in the early eighties at the Notting Hill carnival by Hugh Grant.

The expression? Someone who was a bit of a twit and a berk.

OMG did you see that Miley Cyrus video where she like twirls and stuff. Lolz and ACTUAL Pitbull raps about it in Timber. Like that's totally insane.

Pitbull is shite, he ruins every single song he features on although his two songs, Give Me Everything and Get It Started were good.
