Heifer-Dust

Heifer-dust was made popular in 1993 by a Southern Congresswoman to describe folks that were ‘stirring up trouble’ and trying to block a confirmation to the Clinton administration.

She chided other elected officials by saying ... ‘Don’t go stirring up heifer-dust’.

It has since come to mean being ‘saucy’ or a ‘secret ingredient or spice’ that women ... especially women of color add to flavor conversations and relationships when they want to liven things up.

I’m gonna add some heifer-dust to our romance...to make him act right!
