Adina Howard Let me lay it on the line
I got a little freakiness inside
And you know that the man has gotta deal with it
I don't care what they say
I'm not about to pay nobody's way
'Cause it's all about the dog in me, uh-huh

I want a freak in the morning
A freak in the evening, just like me
I need a roughneck nigga
That can satisfy me, just for me
If you are that kind of man
'Cause I'm that kind of girl
I've got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'Cause we don't give a damn about a thing

'Cause I will be a freak until the day
Until the dawn
And we can (pump, pump)
All through the night 'till the early morn'
Come on and I will take you around the 'hood
On a gangsta lean
'Cause we can (pump, pump)
Any time of day, it's all good for me

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
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.
