- Shake that laffy taffy, that laffy taffy
laffy taffy
noun; analogy
slang term for ass When the song says shake that laffy taffy. It is the equivalent of shake that ass. The word this neologism took its premise form is an addictively delicious taffy made by the Willy Wonka Candy Factory. The candy laffy taffy is distributed by Nestle USA, Inc. and contains jokes on every wrapper. Also I wanted to show that this new word came from the exact same word as the candy, so, it could be thought of as zero derivation. On the other hand, the method of the word being creating was definately a metaphor or analogy of the candy to a butt or ass.
Etymology : laffy + origin unknown taffy 'chewy candy'
