The list of things that we shouldn't have been doing, eating or drinking during that time seems to be increasing at a greater rate. I honestly don't know how I and 99% of my contemporaries have survived considering our apparent ignorance of the poisons in our food and drink (and now the cooking methods as well) and the "dangerous practices" in which we have participated.

Norn Iron Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 This dab thing can be improved...... When we win on Saturday, the winning goalscorer (let's say it's our new goalie) does that move. Upon completion, someone thows yellow powder over his head. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I give you the Sherbet Dab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's been commercialised doesn't take away the meaning. Its annoying, but it doesn't bother me so I shouldn't have even commented no. This is an interesting point that made me think. I find that the meaning of everything is diminished by the commercialisation of it especially if no one knows the meaning - it just becomes a silly dance doesn't it?
