Word: BAMA

"Singer Beyoncé had a hand in the listing of Bama, originally a 1920s abbreviation of the US state of Alabama. It evolved to become slang for a person from the rural American south, but was reclaimed this year by the singer in Formation, a track from her latest album Lemonade. The lyric says: “My daddy Alabama / Momma Louisiana / You mix that negro with that Creole / make a Texas Bama.”"

EDIT: There's a new definition along with the other one. Nama now has two meanings, one is the abbreviation of Alabama, and the other is to be proud of ones heritage.

I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.
