INFORMATION ABOUT MISSY ELLIOTT
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missy_Elliott
Melissa Arnette "Missy" Elliott (born July 1, 1971)[1] is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and philanthropist. She embarked on her music career with all-female R&B group Sista in the early-mid 1990s and later became a member of the Swing Mob collective along with childhood friend and longtime collaborator Timbaland, with whom she worked on projects for Aaliyah, 702, Total, and SWV. Following several collaborations and guest appearances, she launched her solo career on July 15, 1997 with her debut album Supa Dupa Fly, which spawned the top 20 single "Sock It 2 Me". The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, the highest charting debut for a female rapper at the time.[2]
Elliott's second album, Da Real World, was released on June 22, 1999 and produced the singles "She's a Bitch", "All n My Grill", and top five hit "Hot Boyz." The remix of the latter song broke the record for most weeks at number-one on the US R&B chart on the issue dated January 15, 2000; as well as spending 18 weeks at number one on the Hot Rap Singles chart, from December 4, 1999 to March 25, 2000. With the release of Miss E... So Addictive (2001), Under Construction (2002), and This Is Not a Test (2003), Elliott established an international career that yielded hits including "Get Ur Freak On," "One Minute Man," "4 My People," "Gossip Folks," and "Work It." The latter won her a Grammy Award for Best Female Rap Solo Performance.
Elliott went on to win five Grammy Awards and sell over 30 million records in the United States.[3][4][5] She is the best-selling female rapper in Nielsen Music history, according to Billboard in 2017.[6] In 2019, she became the first female rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and to receive the MTV VMAs Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for her impact on the music video landscape.[7][8]

LYRICS: PASS THAT DUTCH
(Missy Elliott)
[Intro]
Listen up, everyone!
We have been just informed that there's an unknown virus that's attacking all clubs
Symptoms have been said to be: heaving breathing, wild dancing, coughing
So when you hear the sound "who-di-whoooo!"
Run for cover, motherf&&ker!*
Woooooo! Ahh, daddy! Ooooo! Ah! oh, ooh!
Pass that dutch (ah), pass that dutch (ooh)
Pass that dutch (ah), pass that dutch (ah)
Pass that dutch (ah), pass that dutch (ah)
Pass that dutch (whoo), pass that dutch
[Verse - 1]
Misdemeanor on the flow, pretty boy, here I come
Pumps and a bump make you wanna hurt something
I can take your man, I don't have to sex 'em
Hang 'em out the window, call me Michael Jackson (hehehee!)
I'm a pain in your rectum, I am that bitch y'all slept on
Heavy hitter, rhyme spitter, call me Re-Run
Hey, hey, hey, I'm what's happ'nin
Hpnotiq in my drink (That’s right!)
Shake ya ass 'til it stink (That's right!)
Mr. Mos' on the beat (That's right!)
Put it down for the streets (That's right!)
[Hook]
(Who-di-whooooooooooooo!)
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Come on, pass the dutch, baby! (ahh!)
Shake-shake shake ya stuff, ladies!
(Who-di-whooooooooooooo!)
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pop that, pop that, jiggle that fat (ahh!)
Don't stop, get it 'til ya clothes get wet
[Verse - 2]
Number one; drums go bump, bump, bump
This beat here will make your pum pum jump
If you's a fat one, put your clothes back on
Before you start putting pot holes in my lawn
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh
I'm under attack like my name was Saddam
I am the bomb from New York to Milan
And I can write a song sicker than Jeffrey Dahm'
(Woop woop!) Don't touch my car alarm
Break in my car, you will hear "Viper Armed"
I've been a superstar since Daddy Kane was raw
I'm live on stage, c'mon and give me some applause
"Thank you! Oh, thank you, you all are so wonderful!"
[Hook]
(Who-di-whooooooooooooo!)
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Come on, pass the dutch, baby! (ahh!)
Shake-shake shake ya stuff, ladies!
(Who-di-whooooooooooooo!)
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pop that, pop that, jiggle that fat (ahh!)
Don't stop, get it 'til ya clothes get wet
[Interlude]
Listen up, motherf&&kers
You have five seconds to catch your breath
Five, four, three, two, one
[Verse - 3]
Pop that, pop that, make that money
Just keep it going like the Energizer Bunny
Shake that, shake that, move it all around
Spank that, yank that, dutch back now
Freak him, freak her, whatever your choice
Didn't come to judge, I came to get ya moist
Scream "Who-di-whooooooo!", now my voice is lost
Can I get a ride on the white horse?
[Hook]
(Who-di-whooooooooooooo!)
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Come on, pass the dutch, baby! (ahh!)
Shake-shake shake ya stuff, ladies!
(Who-di-whooooooooooooo!)
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pass that dutch, pass that dutch
Pop that, pop that, jiggle that fat (ahh!)
Don't stop, get it 'til ya clothes get wet
[Outro]
Pop that
Pass that dutch, baby!
Jiggle that fat

*This word is fully spelled out in the lyrics.
Here's information about Missy Elliott's "Pass That Dutch" from that site:
"Following quickly on the heels of her 2002 album Under Construction with its international smash hit “Work It,” Missy Elliott delivered “Pass That Dutch,” the lead single from her 2003 album This Is Not A Test!. The 808-laden, clap happy, and readily twerkable song was produced by Timbaland.
The dark-humored music video features the cartoonish special effects Missy has come to be known for. In one scene, she’s rapping as scarecrow in a corn field, while black-clad dancers execute choreography around her. Just as quickly, Missy morphs into a Fred “Rerun” Berry styled pop-lock dancer in a retro TV show. The following scene finds Missy riverdancing in a cheerleader outfit. Oddly, the video begins with the interlude “Baby Girl” as a introduction and ends with a verse of “Wake Up” essentially introducing the viewer to the first 3 tracks on Missy’s album in the course of one music video.

"What does Jiggle that fat, pum pum, and white horse mean?
When Missy says, “pop that, pop that, jiggle that fat” she’s referring to dancing – and the most obvious kind to involve “popping” and “jiggling” would be, good old fashioned twerking.
As for “pum pum,” that’s Jamaican slang for vagina.
And “white horse” has a long established nickname for cocaine, though Missy’s reference to it on this song is more her typical nonsensical nonsequitur than an endorsement of or reference to the drug itself. My guess is that it just happened to fit the rhyme scheme."

ADDENDUM- ETYMOLOGY OF THE TERM "DUTCHIE'
In the context of this Missy Elliott record, "Pass that Dutch" means to pass (share) a reefer (blunt; marijuana) cigarette.
Here's information about the etymology of the slang word "dutchie" for marijuana cigarettes:
From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dutchie"
"Dutchie
(slang, smoking) A cannabis blunt rolled inside a Dutch Masters cigar.
(slang, smoking) A cannabis joint."
****
Here's information about the cigar brand name "Dutch masters":
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Masters_(cigar)
"Dutch Masters is a brand of natural wrapped cigars sold in the United States since 1912. Its distinctive packaging features Rembrandt's 1662 painting The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild (De Staalmeesters). Dutch Masters cigars are currently manufactured and sold by Imperial Brands. They are machine-rolled cigars and come in two varieties: standard cigars and smaller cigarillos. [1][2]"...

Thanks to Jill Abruzzio whose August 25, 2019 email motivated me to look up this information. Here's a portion of that email (quoted with prior permission):
"Hello! I'm Jill, a white lady educator and Italian American. My grandad used to smoke these and I think they've been around for a while. I don't use blogger, so I thought I'd email you. I wonder if they have anything to do with the dutch terminology?"...
