One of my favorite Bill Withers songs is "Who Is He and What Is He To You?" which has an unmistakably weird opening lick and an impossibly long name. I copped this LP by Creative Source a few months ago and just cracked it open this week and good god there is this fantastic 12-minute long version of said song with said impossibly long name.
Because I've been jockin it so hard the track has come up in a few e-mail conversations the last couple of days and I shortened the long-ass name to WIHAWIHTY, which is now the new hot internet acronym. You need to call out your woman for maybe getting a lil piece on the side via text message on your old clamshell T9 phone? Now you can do it in exactly ten characters.
After she stammers out a response, you can cut her loose on the spot with another useful funk and soul-inspired acronym: "GOMLW" (adding "YDLMA" if she needs an explanation).
And then you bounce on the entire conversation with "G2G, WIACM".
