The Meaning of John Legend

You don't need to be a rocket Scientologist to figure out that we loooooove ourselves some John Legend.

And most of the folks on Urbandictionary.com seem to be similarly smitten. User-submitted definitions for "John Legend" include phrases like "Talented soul singer", "soulful talented brotha", "one of the sexiest guys alive" and, curiously, "big ups to john legend." **

But for one Urbandictionary.com user, John Legend has a very different meaning:

5.	john legend	22 up, 54 down
	When you back hand the shit outta your woman.  This term originates from John Legend's ordinary people music video where he slapped the taste outta his woman. "Ill John Legend the shit outta you if u keep talkin" by Hyghtz Mar 6, 2005 share this

Umm . . . yeah.   First off, John Legend isn't the one who slaps his woman in the face in the Ordinary People video - it's an entirely different and not even remotely John Legendy black dude.  From this, we deduce that "Hyghtz" is a white guy - likely of the "all black people look alike" variety.  Moreover, the real John Legend is more likely to backhand the shit out of a tennis ball than a woman - and John Legend never plays tennis.   (Actually, I'm not sure that he doesn't play tennis; I'll have to check with him on that one and get back to you.  But I am sure he has never backhanded/open-handed/or any other handed his woman. So suck it, "Hyghtz"!)

Still, the notion of John Legend-ing the shit out of someone does have a certain appeal.  Especially if you adopt my meaning: slow dancing down to your draws' on a sweaty summer night.

** So now we're using shout-outs as definitions?? Should I define Adam Lambert as "Adam Lambert all the way!" ?? Or Miss California USA as "I fart in the general direction of Carrie Prejean" ?? Forget about it.

"Yeah, Sometimes" -- Doo!

We love Urbandictionary.com almost as much as we love The Haunting in Connecticut. Which is why we applaud Urbandictionary.com user "ateokloc" for submitting this definition: **

1.	Yeah, sometimes.	1 thumb up
	A non-sequitur reply to a question. The origin of this response is from a person who use to work with the mentally handicapped. He told the story of how he asked one of his clients what he liked about working at his new job. To which the client responded, "Yeah, sometimes." "What did you think of 'The Haunting in Connecticut'?" "Yeah, sometimes."

Congratulations to THIC for its first appearance on Urbandictionary.com!
