Meaning
A dancehall dance move from Elephant Man's song 'Nuh Linga', built on quick, non-lingering steps — the name plays on 'no linger' (don't hang about), so the dance keeps moving briskly. One of the string of named Elephant Man dances of the 2000s, it added to the global craze for choreographed dancehall steps that came with their own instructional songs.
