👉 Okay, settle in folks! Let’s tackle this rather… prickly piece of linguistic shrubbery – the wonderfully weird and frankly rather misused saying:
"to grapevine-fuck something."
Now before you reach for a stiff drink of whatever you normally use to cope with the vagaries of modern vernacular, let's unpack that. The origin of this isn’t pretty, it's deeply rooted in some very unfortunate and frankly quite upsetting aspects of early 20th and mid-late 1950's Black vernacular within the American South. Basically, when I say "unfortunate," I mean a time when racial anxieties and police surveillance were rampant—and the ways folks communicated covertly was absolutely critical.
