There must be some kind of innuendo to the word. I saw some guys laughing after someone said "Bojangles," like they knew something I didn't. I know there's a fried chicken Bojangles but what else?

It's a name in a song by Bob Dylan. A guy down on his luck that was happy and danced anyway.

Bojangles was considered the best dancer alive and his specialty was tap. He started in the black-face productions and shocked people when he worked as a solo act. He was a headliner in Canada which didn't have the same issues with racism as America. He starred on Broadway and then began making movies predominately appearing as the Butler to a white star, usually Shirley Temple. Bojangles was known as "The Man with the Smile" since the broad smile never left his face while he was dancing.

i know the bob dylan song mr bojangls

I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
The silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
That old soft shoe
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high
Then he'd lightly touch down
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Dance

I met him in a cell in New Orleans
I was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life
Laughed and slapped his leg a step
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Dance

He said the name Bojangles then he danced a lick
All across the cell
He grabbed his pants for a better stance
Oh he jumped so high and clicked up his heels
He let go laugh, he let go laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Dance
Yeah, dance


He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog 'n him had just travelled all about
His dog up and died, he up and died
And after twenty years he still grieves
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Dance

He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars
Cause I drinks a bit
He shook his head, and then he shook his head
I heard someone ask him: "Please"
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Dance

Mister Bojangles dance

To me, worship is putting something or someone first in your life. That is the reason people can worship their job, their money, their family, their "belly", etc. And that is reason people can give worship to those other than Jehovah. But when Jehovah is first is your life, it is to him that you pray, that you sing about, that you speak about, that you read about, that you live for, that you long for, that you look forward to listening to and about, that you seek the approval of, that you study about, that you teach about, that you reach out to. He is your other half in a spiritual relationship. And spirituality cannot be complete without that other half. The definition of worship is multi-faceted, as are the expressions of worship. We speak of "worshiping in many ways". And that is correct. I don't mean all forms of worship are acceptable. But that our worship takes on different facets or expressions. We can't sing and study at the same time. But both are worship. We can't study and pray at the same time. But both are worship. There is more, but I will stop here.

Bojangles' is a regional chain of fast food restaurants in the United States, specializing in fried chicken and biscuits. They are noted for their spicy chicken and distinctive side dishes (fixin's) including dirty rice, Cajun Pintos, thick-cut and cajun seasoned french fries and fresh buttermilk biscuits. Bojangles' offers sausage gravy instead of the chicken gravy offered by most of its competitors. Traditional southern fried chicken is also available, but the chain rarely advertises it, instead focusing on the spicy chicken that fits its Cajun theme. Sandwiches and fries have also been added to the menu. The fries are "Cajun Spiced" and the chicken sandwiches come "Cajun" as well as Southern Fried. The locations that offer breakfast are typically open between 5am and 8am.

Founded in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1977 by Jack Fulk and Richard Thomas, Bojangles' grew rapidly to over 200 locations by 1984, only to see its growth rate slow into the 1990s. New management (former Wendy's executive Joe Drury joined the company as CEO in 2001) and an invigorated marketing campaign have seen the company grow in recent years to over 300 locations in 11 states, mostly in the American South (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Virginia),the Mid-Atlantic States of Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and New York), as well as the first international Bojangles' locations in China, Honduras, and Jamaica. Roughly two-thirds of Bojangles' stores are company-owned, while the remaining 100 are franchise locations.

[edit]
Marketing
As a result of his regional popularity and Louisiana Cajun roots, Jake Delhomme, NFL quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, is employed as Bojangles' pitch-man, where he is often depicted as a single-minded fried-chicken addict who audibles Bojangles' "fixin's" at the line of scrimmage.
