What is "bootylicious"

by 1998, hip-hop slang, from booty + ending from delicious.

a. 1 (context slang English) callipygous or otherwise appealingly voluptuous. 2 (context slang nonce English) Bad; weak.

"Bootylicious" is a song by American R&B group Destiny's Child. It was written and produced by Rob Fusari, Melissa Hinz, and group member Beyoncé Knowles for the band's third studio album Survivor (2001). The song contains a prominent sample from Stevie Nicks's 1981 single " Edge of Seventeen".

The track was released as the album's second single from the album in 2001 and became the band's fourth U.S. number-one single. It also reached the top five in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. A " Rockwilder Remix" of the song featured Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and appeared on the soundtrack of the 2001 musical Carmen: A Hip Hopera and the 2002 compilation This Is the Remix.

Although the term "bootylicious" was first used in song by rapper Snoop Dogg in 1992, the popularity of this track caused the slang word to become widespread and it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary (defined as "(of a woman) sexually attractive") in 2004.
