Former Destiny's Child band-member Beyonce Knowles may have climbed the top of the music charts with her hit song Bootylicious, but she thinks that it's absolutely "crazy" that the word has found a place in the dictionary.

The Baby Boy singer said that she was not very proud of the fact that the word had found its way into the dictionary.

"I'm not very proud of that. It's in the dictionary - it's crazy. I wrote the song, but I wish there was another word I could have come up with if I was going to have a word in the dictionary," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

And though she doesn't know how the term has been defined in the dictionary, she's hoping that it has used her definition of 'bootilicious' as meaning beautiful and bounce-able.

"I don't know what it says (officially) in the dictionary, but my definition (of bootylicious) is beautiful, bountiful and bounce-able," she added.
