What song you can't believe you were singing as a kid and nobody stopped you? (fedia.io)

In my case I'll say either Bloodhound Gang's The Bad touch or Aqua's Barbie Girl.

I mean.. what the hell is "hanky panky".

But for bonus points, I did also sing "take a walk on the wild side~" with no flying clue what "giving head" was supposed to be.

I had no idea what 'OPP' stood for as a kid, which is funny, because it's right in the lyrics, but I was too young to understand what that meant. So I, too, would just belt that song out whenever it came on. Nobody stopped me, either.

Oh wow, I'm today years old when I found out what that means.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure there's never been an official definition for what it meant. I believe they claimed it stood for "other people's problems" back in the day while other people said "other people's pussy."

The lyrics aren't too ambiguous, I don't think...

O is for Other, P is for People scratchin' temple

The last P... well... that's not that simple

It's sorta like another way to call a cat a kitten

It's five little letters that are missin' here"

[...]

As for the ladies, OPP means something gifted

The first two letters are the same but the last is something different

It's the longest, loveliest, lean- I call it the leanest

It's another five letter word rhymin' with cleanest and meanest

Now go back and watch Hilary Clinton's Between Two Ferns interview, and let the layers of that joke unfold
