the allegory of bojangles

arising in seattle, wa during early june 2006, the allegorical nature of "mr. bojangles," star of many 1930s shirley temple films as well as subject for a protest song from the 1960s, alludes to the subconscious desire even the most free man has to give his pride away in order to dance a little bit.

to bojangle (v.): to dance about life with the same sadness and glib irony as bojangles himself did.

the allegory of bojangles was potent on the dance floor.

Bangled

In reference to Chris Bangle, BMW's head of bad design. It refers to something that was great, but has been reworked into something new and horrible which doesn't represent the previous version's awesomtude.

I'd buy a BMW 5 series, but only if the new versions weren't so Bangled.
New Coke was seriously Bangled.
