I first heard this in 1996…when I first joined the military. My friend was a huge Adam Ant fan, so we’d listen to his stuff and party in the barracks after curfew. My roommate thought when he says “Who taught you to torture?” in the song “Whip In My Valise” that he was saying “Who taught you to cha-cha?” I still think that’s funny, when I think about those times.

Also, I had the biggest crush on a soldier who wore white socks and loafers. So, I called him Dirk. Silly stuff. These are the things that make linguist geeks in the Air Force laugh.
