What is Breakin?
1.
A movie made in 1984 about some aspiring Break-dancers. Included some kinda story that involved love and a successful career dancing professionally, but mostly revolved around dope scenes of real-life dancers Boogaloo Shrimp and Shabba-Doo doing some tight poppin, lockin, and break dancin. And there is a kinda weird guy who wears tight pants who is there for no reason I can tell.
Boogaloo Shrimp: Man, them Electro Rock cats is weak, but they insulted us!
Shabba-Doo: Well, if they push it, we'll cut em!
(Hella tight dance scene follows)

in the Bay Area, we use the term "breakin" when you're at a party/the club on the dancefloor and are freak dancin' to the max.
"Daaamn! Last night at the club i was breakin' hella niggas off! They couldn't handle me ;)"

the slang term used by the children of the bronx and beyond to describe the dance of the b-boy and b-girl. NOT "break dancing", a term coined by the media in the 70s and 80s.
Hey Deevo, lets get sum breakin in before the big showdown at sundown.
