This straining adolescent is performing the Posin’ maneuver, as part of a new dance craze called The Big Apple. Nope, I’d never heard of it, either.

I Don't Get It 
Reminds of the old commercial, “Where will you be when diarrhea strikes?
Sorry, I’ll leave now. Have a happy New Year celebration.

What the what is that poor girl doing? That isn’t dancing. She looks as though she were afflicted with some terrible rash. Poor child. Just keep on truckin’.

I have heard it said there’s a lid for every pot, but I don’t know any pots for that lid. Perhaps she grew into her beauty…And no, not my gran!
