How Low Can You Go (Company Is Family Remix)
In rap, I heard “How low can you go?” some times.
What does it mean? Is this phrase some fixed form? and is this used in everyday conversation as well?
The phrase “How low can you go” is not usually encountered in conversation; it’s an allusion, a line in Chubby Checker’s 1962 recording Limbo Rock. It refers to a challenge dance called the limbo which requires the dancers to pass under a progressively lower bar on their feet while leaning backward, so “How low can you go?” is the literal challenge.
The seller asks me”how much do you want to pay?”
Can I say”how low can you go?” I want to mean what is the lowest price you can offer. Thank you
