Origin of the expression "leggo beast"

Can anyone enlighten me on the origin and what the analogy is supposed to be?

Re: Origin of the expression "leggo beast"

This is my take in which it is given to the connotation is that of stray animal (dog) that is not under any control. Leggo means to "let go" "go away "without supervision" and beast reference to a wild animal, namely a dog. Later I'll come back with more... on the way to bakra wuk.

I agree with SandiF only to add that this term is used to describe someone [usually a young woman] who seems to be wild and promiscuous.

Thanks, St. Bess. I should have put the meaning in the original post and not assumed that everyone knows it.

The way I am familiar with leggo beast being used is to describe someone who is wild, unruly, and/or vulgar.


A leggo gyal now takes on a whole level of vulgarity...
