Splackavellie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term"Splackavellie" first gained popularity as the the title of a hit R&B song from 1998 by the artist Pressha, part of the soundtrack to the 1998 movie The Player's Club.

"Splackavellie" describes a kind of man (or "superman") that women who are in relationships use for sexual pleasure uncomplicated by relationship matters (perhaps because of them). Supposedly, when a woman's man isn't treating her right, her "Splackavellie" can "work it all night...until the morning light" in such a way that she is made to feel "right, right right!". Pressha and other promoters of the term claim that "every woman needs her own Splackavellie".

The unusual word is thought to be a corruption/contraction of "Splack (origin unknown)" and "Machiavelli." The spelling of the word is confirmed within the song.

Controversy surrounding the term "Splackavellie" never really erupted, although many were confused about the orthographic variants.
