Jon's current thread about his folk music website being 'down' started me thinking about the use of slang and other colloquialisms in music and dance.

Even 'regular' English words like 'down' can mean different things to different people at different times depending on the population and the circumstances. And when you add to the mix slang and other colloquial expressions from African American Vernacular English, other English sub-sects, Caribbean Patois, Rastafarian culture, and other international cultures, it's a good bet that there's a whole lot of 'say what?s' goin on.

Do you wanna share the meanings of music {and dance} slang terms?
Post them on this thread.

Do you have any questions that you always wanted to ask about the meaning of slang terms used in music or dance?
Post your questions here and somebody's bound to provide an answer.

Are you down with that?

I hope so.

Peace Out!
