Meaning
A vulgar Jamaican word for the penis, alongside 'hood' and 'cocky'. Crude and sexual, it is heard in dancehall and coarse everyday speech about sex, and it belongs strictly to the explicit, adult register, out of place in polite, formal, or family settings. It is documented here for comprehension — so that outsiders recognise it is not the English 'buddy' (friend) — not for respectable use, and it is one of the many blunt, un-euphemistic terms the language carries for the body in its most explicit talk.
