v.- stemming from the behavior exhibited by individuals under the influence of X, jiggalation (the act of jiggalating) has grown in its scope and its impact. Now, one needs not be in a drug-induced euphoria to jiggalate. With the advent of several underground hit songs and the spread of its dance craze throughout south Louisiana, jiggalation is more than just popping x... it's more than a dance... it's a state of mind; it's a way of life.
"...people don't dance no more, all they do is jig..."
--From "All They Do is Jig", by Sam I Am
