Arse-clapping.
Apparently this is a skill much admired.
A sort of twerk that makes yer bum cheeks slap together and er... clap.
Have I been living under a rock?
MN is a veritable hive of information.

"Now not only are the yoof expected to be hairless, but also be able to control both the size and movement of one’s derrière in order to achieve auditory acclaim".... this made me howl.

I didn't know what they meant by "can you make it clap for me". I definitely cannot.

Best thing I’ve read on MN.

Can you imagine a male celebrity being interviewed about his arse,
ever?

No, it's like when you see women celebrities like Loose Women having a naked photoshoot to show how 'empowered' they are. You would never see 40+ something age male celebrities doing that, they know they don't have to get their arse out to feel empowered.

There must be a knack to it, I was at the front of the queue when the bums were handed out but all I can manage is a jelly impression.

I can arse clap! It's my (drunken) party trick.

MrsWooster · 11/04/2020 20:23

Desultory participation in Joe Wicks has proved that, like a pp, my belly can clap on my thighs, but the only clapping my arse is doing is when it collapses onto the leather sofa.

Cuntysnark · 11/04/2020 20:22

You CAN have your arse cleavage pierced but(t) not sure that’s low enough to count.

Cuntysnark · 11/04/2020 20:20

I’m loathe to google arse piercings but I’ll do it to save anyone else. Wonder if the news would be keen to show this social distancing orchestra. Any suggestions for the first piece-Wind beneath my wings for a modern piece but what about a classic? Air on the G string?

userabcname · 11/04/2020 20:17

Yes I knew this. Tis often referenced in songs featuring the likes of Jason Derulo and Nicki Minaj. I had to google it because I didn't know what they meant by "can you make it clap for me". I definitely cannot.

Oh. Yes apparently it is supposed to be a good thing. I think only if the resulting clap is caused by horizontal movement rather than vertical... (sadly the butt/ thigh slap is less aspirational, albeit much easier to achieve).
I’m only hanging around to see what on earth wings has found.. (that mn won’t let her post)

I think we are all better off that way @WatchingFromTheWings

WatchingFromTheWings · 11/04/2020 20:13

I give up. It was a gif showing arse clapping. 🤷‍♀️

WatchingFromTheWings · 11/04/2020 20:12

Balls. It didn't load.

WatchingFromTheWings · 11/04/2020 20:11

Don't knowing this will work but...arse clapping. (I'm sorry). 

Saisong · 11/04/2020 20:03

Are arse piercings a thing - that could account for the brass section.

And a well placed thong could probably play a pretty tune along with the tooting.

Cuntysnark · 11/04/2020 19:56

I’m not going to try but this has made me laugh. So we have wind & percussion arses. Anyone for brass or strings?

Pertella · 11/04/2020 19:45

How does it even work? Are both cheeks clapping against each other or are they slapping against the tops of your thighs Confused

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 11/04/2020 19:26

I don't know if I can make my arse clap but it can toot a pretty tune Grin

Danceswithwarthogs · 11/04/2020 19:21

Still confused, is the clapping a good thing?

Omg! Now I have to google. Although I am slightly weirded out by there being an actual article that listed ‘reasons I am proud of my arse’ in and of itself.
And yes, Agnes. I am equally both ‘stop the world I want to get off’ and ‘eh? How?’
It’s like that ridiculous can you lick your elbow thing. You don’t really want to try but the thought does go there.
(I’m 50. I know without trying that I can neither lick my elbow nor clap my butt cheeks)
Where has this come from? I have visions of those weird mating displays from the bird world. The ostentatious of feather, stamping and making odd caws. Not usually any clapping involved.

I have just tried. I am a failure. Though D has rarely laughed as much .

iklboo · 11/04/2020 19:12

My boobs give me tumultuous applause when I run downstairs.

MiggyMoggyMoo · 11/04/2020 19:09

Mine does that when I run up the stairs... and so does my belly pooch! Grin
