Hey! Do you know “Beauty in the world” sang by Macy Gray?

Recently, I have been listening to this song so many times and I like this song because it makes me so happy and being positive especially when the economy is bad like these days. I hope you also like it. Listening to the song, I found one interesting line in its lyrics. “Shake your booty!” You know what “booty” is? 🙂 It is butt. I think the reason why booty is in the lyrics is because of the rhyme with “beauty.” Speaking of booty, you should know another expression. “Booty call”

Definition is somewhat embarrassing but I guess I should give you the definition here. Well it simply means “a call for sex.” And here is more detailed definition from Urban Dictionary.

A late night summons — often made via telephone — to arrange clandestine sexual liaisons on an ad hoc basis.

booty call agreement

There is an image about a booty call agreement in the urban dictionary. I doubt people do really sign on that agreement, right? Anyways, you would hear this expression from time to time in conversations, especially if a guy is trying to call a girl at night. His friends may say, “What? Are you making a booty call now?” Isn’t it funny? If you think about it, it literally means “butt call.” (엉덩이 전화, Eong-Deong-Yi-Jeon-Hwa) Here is a question for you, my American friends? How many times have you made booty calls? Andrew? Let me guess! How about 10? Come on, be honest! It should be more than that. 🙂

Korean equivalent :  음란 전화(Eum-Lan-Jeon-Hwa) I am not sure this is really correct but cannot think of any. Literal translation would be “obscene call.” Frankly, I like “booty call” better. It is a lot cuter, I think.
