No worries, buddy! Twitchy and Twitter are here to help you out. As Twitchy reported, viewers of MTV’s VMAs were scarred by Miley Cyrus’ twerking performance. Oh, the humanity.

But, did Cyrus spark a brand-new definition for “twerking”?

Judging from Miley Cyrus I gather "twerking" is slang for "losing your immortal soul and consigning yourself to the Ninth Circle of Hell."

Heh.

A cure?

.@MileyCyrus You need Jesus.
