Dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance: just wait till they catch their daughters twerking to this song
Yes, you just read what you thought you just read. The BBC is reporting that the word “twerk” has been officially added to the Oxford Dictionary, and the above is the official entry for “twerk.” As if on cue, the new Queen of Twerking, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber have released a new track together called … you guessed it … “Twerk.”

As you might expect, from a lyrical perspective, this song is not exactly the second serving of Don McLean’s “American Pie.” Miley’s chorus goes as follows: “I came up in this party time to twerk / I came up in this party and I’m turnt / I came up in this party time to twerk / Twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk.” Meanwhile, Bieber spends his verses telling Miley that “we can take it slow,” which would seem almost romantic if it were not followed up by his demands that “(we) don’t need nobody to know” and “let me see you get down on the floor, girl.” Young love, ain’t it a blast!
