The phrase gained prominence in 2001 as the title of a Missy Elliott song.
该短语是梅西•埃丽奥特的一首歌名,2001年开始流行了起来。
Singer Beyonce had a hand in the listing of Bama, originally a 1920s abbreviation of the US state of Alabama. It evolved to become slang for a person from the rural American south, but was reclaimed this year by the singer in Formation, a track from her latest album Lemonade.
Bama一词的收录得力于歌手碧昂斯,该词最早是20世纪20年代对美国阿拉巴马州的缩写,而后演化成了一个俚语,指来自美国南部乡下的人。但碧昂斯在今年的最新专辑《Lemonade》里的单曲《Formation》中重新使用了这个词。
The lyric says:
这段歌词是:
My daddy Alabama / Momma Louisiana / You mix that negro with that Creole / make a Texas Bama.
我爸是阿拉巴马人 /我妈是路易斯安纳人 / 他们生了我这个带着克里奥尔血统的黑人/ 让我成了住在德克萨斯的阿拉巴马人。
Words are admitted to the OED, McPherson said, according to their usage.
