- The_Dozens abstract "The Dozens is a game of spoken words between two contestants, common in Black communities of the United States, where participants insult each other until one gives up. It is customary for the Dozens to be played in front of an audience of bystanders, who encourage the participants to reply with more egregious insults to heighten the tension and, consequently, to be more interesting to watch. It is also known as \"roasting\", \"capping\", \"clowning\", \"ranking\", \"ragging\", \"sounding\", \"checkin\", \"joning\", \"woofing\", \"wolfing\", \"sigging\", or \"signifying\", while the insults themselves are known as \"snaps\".Comments in the game focus on the opposite player's intelligence, appearance, competency, social status, financial situation, and disparaging remarks about the other player's family members—mothers in particular (\"yo′ mama...\")—are common. Commentary is often related to sexual issues, where the game is then referred to as the \"Dirty Dozens\".According to sociologist Harry Lefever and journalist John Leland, the game is almost exclusive to African Americans. Both males and females participate, but the game is more commonly played among males of varying social status.Several theories have been put forth to explain why the game was developed. One hypothesis from 1939 suggests that the game formed as a way for African Americans to express aggression in an oppressive society that severely punished such displays against whites. Another theory from 1962 highlights how the game's focus on one's opponent's mother is a reflection of the dominance of females in African-American families and how young males may feel rejected by females and react accordingly.".
