A brilliant, earth-shattering word that Mary J. Blige invented to accentuate the rhyme-scheme of a masterful song, placing her among the accolades as the Shakespeare of our age.
This word was made popular by Mary J. Blige in her song Family Affair. However, it ends up that's not what she's saying. The correct lyric is "Dance Soiree". A "soiree" is an evening party or gathering typically held in a private home. I suppose that does make a little more sense than dancery.
Everyone was surprised to learn that the songlyric is actually "Dance soiree", not "dancery".
"Let's get it crunk come on and
have fun upon up In this dancery
We got ya'll open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me
Don't need no hateration, holleration
In this dancery
Let's get it perculatin' while you're waiting
So just dance for me"
obviously dancery is not the only word Mary made up.
It is a place for entertaining or an event place back in the 1600s and a word borrowed from the French.
The vibrant atmosphere of the party was electrified by the pulsating music, transforming the room into a lively dancery where everyone moved with joyful abandon.
"Ya dancer" or "Ya wee dancer" is of Scottish origin. This expression means - Excellent! Great! Fantastic! Etc etc etc. For a reference, you can check the film Trainspotting where Sickboy uses the expression perfectly.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
