slang Which P songs contain slang used by P which you don't understand? For me, it's 'double - drag' in 'Sexuality' and 'Let's Pretend We're Married'. What the hell is that? | |

A "few turbulence" in "International Lover" is the one that comes to mind. | |

If someone is a "drag," it means they are boring or a downer. So, I always thought that "doubl-drag" was someone who was twice as much of a drag. Maybe I am wrong. | |

Turbulence...as in on an airplane. When the airplane shakes. So, it means the "ride" is going to be full of motion and "bumping." | |

"Tamborine" *I don't care 4 1 night stands With trolley cars That juggle 17* I dig the song, dunno what the brother is sayin' in that verse .. I believe "trolley car" is slang for a loose woman. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I had a girlfriend that hated "heckaslammin" because it was a made up word.
I LOVED it because it was made up...and it rhymed ![]() It took me FOREVER to realize what "Tamborine" *I don't care 4 1 night stands With trolley cars That juggle 17* meant ![]() And I love it when he makes up his own slang vs using "the latest lingo" ![]() I'm firmly planted in denial | |

Turbulence...as in on an airplane. When the airplane shakes. So, it means the "ride" is going to be full of motion and "bumping." I'm aware of the definition of turbulence; what I don't understand is the use of "few" before "turbulence". Being singular, one should either say, or in Prince's case, sing, "I anticipate turbulence along the way" or "some turbulence". In some cases, if one wishes to express it in plural form, one would say I anticipate "a few turbulences along the way". I just imagined "a few turbulence" to be some sort of slang. ![]() | |

did prince invent all that cherry moon/movie star era lingo himself or did he pick it up from somewhere? i speak of stuff like:
drawz (as in "i'm gon get some serious drawz tonight, think i aint?") dog (as in "wow, that's dog") and uh, that's about it | |

If one performs a Google search of "turbulence", "International Lover" and "Prince", the results clearly show that the phrase used is "a few turbulence". Listen to the song, and it is quite clear. | |
