selah

Caribbean equivalent of "word up", as popularized as an exclamation in dancehall by Beenie Man. However the word has been used for years by Rastafarians as the origins of this word are Biblical; it's commonly used in Psalms at the end of a verse. In the more secular use however, it's used to emphasize a thought, usually at the point of its conclusion.

"Pon bed pon floor against wall/
We sex dem all till dem call mi/
Im di girls dem sugar dats all/
Welcome di king of di dancehall/Selah!"
~Beenie Man

(Translation for the interested: "I have crazy sex with women on beds, floors and walls, so well in fact that they are fiending and calling me constantly. I'm unquestionably a ladies man, and king of the dancehall to boot. Word!")

Selassie

A name given to a strong femine. It means the power of the Holy trinity, it means beautiful, it means amazing. It is quite different from "Selasie".
Selassie's are the prettiest girls around and if you have one selassie you have five people in one human being. She is a power pack full of sweetness but in the end you wouldn't take her for granted because she has a "don't mess with me side" you don't want to see.

Be a selassie
