DID YOU KNOW, I didn't think so……..Funk
The meaning of “Funk”……..”To be in the funk” may be the Walloon “In
de fonk zun,” literally to “be in the smoke.”
Colloquially to be in a state of trepidation from uncertainty or apprehension of EVIL.
Walloon….what the Belgians speak.

The first I time I recall hearing the term funk was the song “Funky, Funky Broadway” by “Wicked” Wilson Pickett.

Could that be how the term “Funky” came about, as in being in “smoky” jazz clubs?

Something to do with smoke anyway,

Yeah, the smoke billowing for the drains on the main city streets, ah……….Funky, Funky Broadway.

Waloon is the laguage of Belgians.

Why isn’t it called Belgianise (Belchin’ knees)?……

That’s what I asked. Maybe we better google Waloon.

Since there are no points or awards involved, I would say that would be OK as far as MR Central is concerned…… Google on…..

Well, I looked at Walloon on Wickapedia and got more than I wanted to know…………including that it is spoken in some part of Wisconsin.

Walloon, Wisconsin….. Hm-m-m…… Sounds “Funky” to me…… Is there a Walloon cheese?…….
August 2nd, 2007 at 4:32 pm
