15 years ago Missy Elliot was lighting up the charts with her hit Work It and if it came on in the club today some of us worn out olders would be getting down (no doubt there would be a bunch of young uns wondering wtf was going on!).

FACE PALMS READY!!!!

So what the hell does she say…. No, it isn’t welsh or Hungarian, it’s plain English…. In reverse and of course, of damn course it is! Seeing as it comes after the “and reverse it” line.

She says “‘I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it” IN REVERSE. Mystery solved!
