Lip Smacking
For my Black American audience, ya'll know exactly what I'm talking about. That smacking you do with your lips when someone is getting on your nerves. That smacking you do when you lose at a game of cards. That smacking you do when you're tired and your and your mom or dad ask you to do something as soon as you sit down on the couch or about to down some food. Or just smacking just because! Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. That stuff comes from West Africa, which makes sense when you think about our history. That same lip smacking continues 400 something years later and I don't think it will ever die.
