Most interpret the phrase "tip drill" to mean "a person with a 'nice' body but an 'ugly' face" or "a man with an 'ugly' face who has a lot of money," due to the lyrics "it must be yo ass 'cause it ain't yo face" and "it must be yo money 'cause it ain't yo face." This however, is not what the term is meant to mean in the song, Nelly is simply implying that he is attracted to said girl due solely to her buttocks, it is not saying that the girl must be ugly. The reason these girls are referred to as “tip drill’s” is because they have large buttocks, which is ideal for a sexual activity known as “tip drilling” which involves placing the penis between the buttocks without penetration. ==References== {{reflist}} {{uncategorized|date=June 2008}}
