TAR 21 Ep 8 "We was Robbed"
ZouLy:
No wonder James was hurting his leg and thigh ...
I just found and discover that the military dance called The Cossack dance..
and it was cool and up beat!!! :lol3:
--- Quote ---Cossack (or Hopak) dancing originated in southern Russian and Ukranian military communities. The general plan was to have a battle, win, then return and have a big dance off with all your comrades. The party was male-only, of course, but by the time the women enter the forces they also learn to do this dance and often involved pantomime style re-enactments of battlefield moments, with sabres et al.

theschnauzers:
The quote "We was Robbed," actually dates back to 1932, as noted by answers.com, when, it was used to mean "We were cheated out of a victory; we were tricked or outsmarted." The site explains:
--- Quote ---this expression, with its attempt to render nonstandard speech, has been attributed to fight manager Joe Jacobs (1896-1940), who uttered it on June 21, 1932, after his client, Max Schmeling, had clearly out-boxed Jack Sharkey, only to have the heavy-weight title awarded to Sharkey. It is still used, most often in a sports context.

You know what guys, after watching that video, I was like.. maybe the Chippendale dancers was robbed of this Cossack dance style and the music beat could outrun them...
and maybe after this episode aired, the so-called gangnam style phenomenon will have a rival... :lol3: :lol3:
