whip can mean car in the US (e.g. "trick that whip" = "pimp my ride"). originally the whip one used on a stagecoach, it's been slang for "steering wheel" for quite a while. but then there's this "...already in use for steering wheel, the term really caught on in the 70s when the hip-hop community noticed the resemblance of the mercedes logo to a whip."
say whu...?! i find similar explanations in many sources. yet, try as i may, i cannot see the SLIGHTEST resemblance between the benz logo and a whip! we're talk that 3-prong star in a circle, right? or is there some other, old/alternate, logo that i'm just not finding? |

I'm guessing because it looks like a three spoke steering wheel.

how does noticing the steering wheel logo resembles a steering wheel reinforce use of the "whip" term? i assume those quotes about "...noticed the merc logo resembled a whip" meant an actual whip. if they simply mean whip as the slang term for a steering wheel...well, now, that's circular logic at its best!! |

different one. when a young'un looks at their phone and comments on their "ratios", is that followers:following or comments/retweets:tweets? i see them both in use on urbandict etc., so which is the default?
