Meaning
In vulgar Jamaican slang, a woman's genitals — the 'front', as opposed to the 'batty' (the backside). It is heard in crude phrases such as 'sell front', and it belongs strictly to the coarse, explicit, sexual register, out of place in polite, formal, or family settings. It is documented here so the slang is understood, not for respectable use, and it is one of the many blunt, un-euphemistic terms the language carries for the body and sex in its most explicit talk.
