flyingkites Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm glad he tweeted that so we don't have to argue for 6 months that he is not saying "popular" corn because that makes no sense. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm not a native English speaker but to me that whole line doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was standing in the corn field (wild nature), and now she's selling porn in the cheap cinemas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaring Simpson Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) What is pom? The dictionary says it's a slang for English immigrant? That's true- but a pom pom is a fluffy ball thing that cheerleeders wave about (not being rude- it's just the image of a two poms being waved about like a pom pom) Edited April 6, 2012 by Soaring Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy_Queen Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That's true- but a pom pom is a fluffy ball thing that cheerleeders wave about (not being rude laughing, it's just the image of a pom being waved about like a pom pom) Ah I see! So the field is just a stadium? Even less romantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 standing in the field is not like a corn field, but most likely a football field ie cheerleader with pompoms don't we have a smilie with pompoms or is that on my msn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 In spanish "pom pom" it means knocking at the door seems rap lyrics without any sense The pom pom part makes perfect sense. It's the popular corn bit that is bizarre. Hopefully an autocorrect issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miro Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think he just reversed 'pop' to its origin which is popular (I think it is its origin, isn't it?) and that's where 'popular corn' came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
