AM I the only person in AMerica who HASN'T seen Austin Powers?? Or the Chiljies (sp?) commercial??
ANd since I live out in the "red-neck" country I have never heard a guy make a reference to a woman's butt in that manner!

I saw the first 15 minutes of the original Austin Powers movie and I hated it! I haven't seen one minute of any of the others. Still, the term "baby-back ribs" have been around waaaaaaaaay before any Austin Powers movies were made.
ROLFLMAO@ this thread! Thanks guys... I really needed a good laugh today.
Beck and Nikita,
If you're not clear on it yet, email me... LOL
Go here to see Chilis Baby Back Ribs...

SIR MIX-A-LOT LYRICS
"Baby Got Back"
[Intro]
Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.
It is so big. *scoff* She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, y'know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
I mean, her butt, is just so big. *scoff*
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... black!
[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull up tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's wet, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!
(LA face with Oakland booty)
Baby got back!
[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Watchin' these bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *f**k*
Til the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna role in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!
Baby got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".
[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hon
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that "hard" role
And tell you that the butt ain't go
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waste is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines:
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sista, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!
(Little in the middle but she got much back) [4x]

Star, I am glad we could be of help!
My goodness, it's easy to see from how wars could begin over ones choice of words!
Nikita
Nikita,
Did I say something wrong?
Let me make it clear that I was in no way laughing at you or Beck. I found everyone's comments on trying to explain this hilarious. I was having a very bad day and just about in tears... I really needed the laugh and was glad to run into this thread.
Star (of the this is why I don't post much class)
Star, I am so sorry, I didn't mean for you to think you did anything wrong! Hey, I am the first one to laugh at myself! I love to laugh-I'm sorry that you thought I was upset. I wasn't, I was glad, genuinely that you were able to find it humorous, because it is quite humorous!
The comment I made about wars being started with words is because how one word or a phrase here in AMerica could be misconstrued totally by someone in another part of the world-even those where English is the native language.
I am sorry that you had a bad day (((((((Star)))))) I hope that you have a better weekend.

Baby Got Back! - I got it now...never heard it before, not even on the movies. It isn't unusual for american slang to be adopted here....but that one hasn't quite made into my kids vocabulary LOL. My kids usually pick up sayings and thrash them to death....my daughter (17) is going through this 'sup' dog' saying LOL...and 'G' - WTF is a G? All her friends are half caste like her...but they go around saying 'sup muh niggar'.....I guess they are being try hard homies LOL. Can girls say 'Baby Got Back' about guys?? Or is it just in reference to the buttocks on a girl??
Funch/Biggs, I'm gonna stick with "nice ass boy" for you if yo don't mind LOL. Thanks for your assistance btw, I shall be watching out for 'Baby Got Back' in the next homeboy movie I watch. I have to admit that I get quite lost in the slang, for example I watched "Animal Factory" an american prison movie....I was completely lost in their slang and language....should've had you here to guide me through it Nice_Ass_Boy LOL.
Thank you breeze, I haven't seen Austin Powers movies yet, its no wonder I'm in the dark on the fat bastard thing. I am going to be such a show off when I tell everyone what baby back ribs is all about....no one here has a clue....my moment of fame is to come, thanks LOL.
Star, thanks for the laugh...I have no idea who Sir-Mix-Alot is but I was most entertained. Sorry you had a bad day...I hope you're smiling again.
Nik, you're right about wars and words and being worlds apart, I don't us MSN much for that reason...I spend most of my time trying to explain what I mean instead of having a conversation that flows....we use a totally different set of phrases over here then you guys do over there...but we're lucky for the fact that we get a lot of american tv shows and movies, and so we can sort of keep up. But I doubt that you guys would see much aussie/kiwi stuff other then Crocodile Hunter LOL - crikey!
Thanks guys. Beck

Star- WHY??? You had me ROTFL!!! Sir-Mix-A-Lot. One of the corniest (lamest) rapper's I have ever heard who still sells records!
Beck... "Baby Got Back" is a term usually used by black folks (people) in America.
"Wassup G" is an ollllllld hip-hop term like homey or homeboy (a term of endearment in the hip-hop/rap culture).
"Dawg" has been used for quite awhile, too. I frequent many Philadelphia 76ers games and when I first met Allen Iverson (one of the most popular players of American basketball), I said, "Good game, A.I." His response? "Thanks, dawg!" (Again, another hip-hop term of endearment).
Brian, of the Translation class
Ok, now, Beck, what do you mean by "half caste?"
LOL, Croc Hunter, I do love his show. I'm always telling my dogs "You're a funny little dog, you are!" You know how he is always saying that? "You're a funny little snake,or spider" etc... (meanwhile that funny little snake DON"T look so funny, ya know??)
I would love to visit New Zealand and Australia. He did one show where they were flying all over Australia, it was impressive!
When I was preparing to go to Moldova, they warned me about jokes not translating very well from our culture to theirs. Here is a perfect example-and we all speak "English!"
