Meaning
A vulgar dancehall slang word for the vulva or vagina, popularised in early-1990s dancehall lyrics. Crude and sexual, it belongs strictly to the most explicit register of the music and adult talk, unfit for polite, formal, or family settings. It is documented here for comprehension of the slang, not for respectable use or endorsement, and it is one of a number of blunt, coined dancehall terms for the genitals that circulate frankly within the music's sexually explicit songs.
