Meaning
A crude dancehall slang expression for having sex — the 'stabbing' taking place in the 'cabin', that is, the bedroom. Vulgar and sexual, it was popularised as a song and catchphrase, and it belongs to the frank, explicit register of dancehall's talk about sex, unfit for polite or family settings. It is documented here for comprehension of the slang, not for respectable use, and it is one of many blunt, graphic terms the music coins for the sexual act.
