'Shockout' is a term commonly associated with Dancehall reggae.However its origins can be traced back to the early eighties when Dj zebedee and Supreme S introduced Studio 1 tracks during soundclash battles.. You would hear ' Everybody Shockout,Shockout.....Shockout,Shockout' and then sound effects would ensue.
To slackout is to drink excessive amounts and forget most of the evening's occurrences.These periods of lost memory were named after an individual from North Bay, Ontario, to whom these are frequent.
