This is the sort of thing I was hoping wouldn't get me angry once I was all grown up and mature, but dagnabbit this pisses me off.

I've seen people ask her in interviews "How does it feel to have coined the term 'bootylicious' and Beyonce, in between using the word 'blessed,' never denies NOT coining it.

First of all, Snoop was using that (in a negative context) since 1992. Check his challenge to Tim Dogg on The Chronic...

Second of all, as Wifey pointed out, it's not like she even WROTE the friggin' song to begin with!!! So even if Snoop HADN'T coined the term, credit would undoubtedly go to the author of the Destiny's Child song and NOT BEYONCE!

WTF??!?!?

How does one use "bootylicious" in a negative context?

Play, with my bone would ya Timmy
It seems like you're good for makin jokes about your jimmy
But here's a jimmy joke about your mama that you might not like
I heard she was the 'Frisco dyke
But fuck your mama, I'm talkin about you and me
Toe to toe, Tim M-U-T
Your bark was loud, but your bite wasn't vicious
And them rhymes you were kickin were quite bootylicious

Didn't she write "Bootylicious", the song?

You remember when singles were seven inch and had the writers name in brackets right underneath the title?

and now quite often they don't even have it on the CD or the inlay...

Presumably people would be disappointed to find out Xtina didn't just pour her soul out straight onto CD?
