WTF! Dabbing


WTF Gentle Reader... do you dab?

Have you seen groups of teens seemingly jerking about like a strange Nazi salute crossed with a sneeze. Dabbing as its called has become a bit of a craze amongst younger teens and preteens and seems to be a bit of harmless fun.

When Robert started copying these older children I decided to find out myself what all the fuss is about.
It is a dance move in which the dancer simultaneously drops the head while raising an .arm and the elbow in a gesture that has been noted to resemble sneezing.

It originated in, yes you guessed it Gentle 
Reader, the USA amongst the Atlanta hip-hop 
scene where a gentleman with the groovy
 name of Skippa da Flippa created the move.

Dabbin' as it sometimes referred to has touched many areas in the media including sports and politics.
Hillary Clinton famously dabbed on the Ellen Degeneres show in 2016.





If you see your kids dabbing...please dont panic....they could be twerking.
