spread da word

Refers to the act of promoting an underground (and likely underage) rave by word of mouth. Often interpreted as "Spread The Word", it is actually "Spread Dan Word"; a reference to the person who invented the phrase.
The term reached peak popularity in the Perth (Australia) rave scene circa 2006, though occasional usage has been reported as late as 2019.
