Despite stemming from the noun, “naughty-little-bitch”, the phrase (coined by EKK of VA circa 2019) has its nuances in both connotation and literal meaning.
It is used like a present participle with a mandatory inclusion of the word “it”, and describes one’s “vibe” during self-expression generally through dance or when striking a pose. (Use as a simple noun or as a categorical term for something like music in the form of “NLB” is acceptable).
It is similar to the colloguial term, “
killin’ it” and how that describes the
excellence with which one performs a task; however, “naughty little bitchin’ it” is acheived when an air of sexiness is brought about in conjunction with a degree of taboo behaviour.
With regard to dancing, it is not exclusive to a
particular set of moves or body parts, but there is a heavy focus on
the following:
-Dramatic use of the hips
-Facial expression (
particularly the use of the mouth e.g. biting of the lower lip)
-“Revealing” motions.
Note:
*There is a fine line between “NLB’n it” and being “sexy”.
*Twerking, in general, is a certified “NLB” move, but simply twerking does not make one an “NLB”.
*The phrase itself is not conjugated to convey past, present or future tense.
