To be diggity-deleted
I can maybe accept the page itself - though that's debatable. But that "Blackstreet" ref has gotta go. It's too general a... word?... to pin down to them specifically. --Jay o'Lantern (Haunt) 19:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- A quick search reveals that a song called Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom) was published in 1956.
I doubt that's the earliest "diggity" but the point is thatIt's laughable to think the word originated with a 1996 song. I'm killing the supposed reference to "No Diggity".

- I just noticed that the Wikipedia article for "Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom)" does claim that: "The song was the source of the phrase, "hot diggity dog!", an expression of great delight which was popular in the 1950s and 1960s." So maybe that should be in the article. OptimisticFool 19:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
