For those of you not hip – is a hip still a word – we have SNL to thank for tuning us in – is tuning us in still a viable phrase – on what TURNT is all about. I would guess it goes with TWERKING – is twerking still around? Hemingway, here is the official definition from the Urban Dictionary:
Turnt
1. Like hype for a party, or at the club!
2. Horny, drunk, f*cked up!! Crunk!
3. The most wonderful feeling in the world. Saught after by the biggest bousses and ballas, it can only be achieved when all 5 senses are stimulated to their fullest extent. The links between these senses cause the human brain to experience supernatural side effects, thus creating, the only way to reach maximum swag.
Oh-oh, I bet you saw that one coming…
Crunk
1. A mixture of the word crazy and drunk.
2. Smoking chronic (marijuana) and getting drunk at the same time.
3. Crunk is also thought to be derived from a combination or a portmanteau of the words “crazy” and “drunk”, or a combination of “chronic” and “drunk”, referring to the state of being both drunk from alcohol and high on marijuana, at the same time.
I lived in somewhat of an Animal House back in college at the height of the drug culture in 1971. Though we did every drug known to man, over our door we had a wood carving with the words, THE SAUCE IS BOSS. Even then we understood what our histories would prove true. Like the eulogy in the famous movie, I can say that of 25 or so friends, three ended up in rehab, four got divorced, and 6 died way too early. NONE from drugs and all from booze. Which I would guess was the same for the generation before and after us .
