Toubab

Toubabing around comes from the Wolof, Toubab (n): white person; someone who doesn't know what's going on; moronic automaton. Picked up the Toub in 2003 during a nude excursion to Toubab Diallo, a tiny resort town in Sunu Gaal. The night involved showers and Ivy Leaguers, gin and guilt.

Started being a good little toubab - in earnest - around 2005, waiting tables in Bethany Beach, DE. Just trying to not let it get to me when I didn't get someone's Poffenburger to the table quickly enough or I got a three-dollar tip.

Maintained toubabitude through some harsh events out in Tacoma involving wait-staff and assistant managers at coffee houses, a cigarette habit and far too many beers every day, which did, indeed, net me a decent-sized "spare tire" (inner toubab) from January to April.

Played the Toubab in a brass band until lately when I've been sick and can't jam out on the video-game bikes over in New York Sports Club so I'm skittish of late, my toubab fighting for its life.

The toubabs only come out at 3 a.m., but they are not a frightening race.

Doing a lot of toubabing lately. (Riding the tobabogan = mounting a sled full of toubabs.)

Fucking toubabs. I've got em bad, from my head to my shoe-bobs.
