ligue Explanation: What a strange sentence, even for hip hop! As far as I can tell from the little context we have, "hook up" here refers to "ligar", or in this case the noun, "ligue", or possibly "cita". As for "forehead wear", that has really stumped me. I can't think of anything that you wear on your forehead, except the marks or sometimes jewelery that Indian women wear, but in a hip hop song!? Good luck, you'll need it! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2004-12-07 11:02:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://slate.msn.com/id/2093351/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2004-12-07 11:03:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.teenwire.com/index.asp?taStrona=http://www.teenwi... Could even be \"rollo\" in the sexual meaning of the word. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2004-12-07 11:04:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You Got the Hookup by Sandy Olkowski Hooking up means different things to different people — from kissing to outercourse to having intercourse. If you\'re hooking up with a girlfriend or boyfriend, it may be a little confusing or weird at first — hey, no one ever said a relationship would be easy! But after a while, many couples usually get comfortable and familiar with each other and basically know what to expect with one another in the hookup department. Recent articles: Breaking the Cycle of Bad Relationships No More Secrets: An AIDS Activist\'s Wish All About Arousal: The Science of Sex Call of the Wild Smoking and Sexual Health See all articles >> But when it\'s a hookup and there\'s no romantic relationship brewing things can get confusing in other ways. So whether it\'s with a friend, a crush, or some random cutie — hooking up can be really confusing! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2004-12-07 11:10:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Forehead wear\"- The only thing that occurs to me here would be some kind of \"gorra\" with a logo (Nike, for instance) or message embroidered on the front, very popular with teenagers. |

conexión; ¿condón? Explanation: Hook up or hookup is definitely finding someone to have sex with; I'm guessing that "forehead wear" is a condom ("head" of the penis, "FOREskin," need for protection when having sex). May God deliver me from ever having to do a hip-hop translation! Suerte. |
