Hood

noun HOOD hʊd sexual

Also spelled hud, hood

A vulgar Jamaican word for the penis. Extremely common in dancehall lyrics and in crude, everyday talk about sex, it is coarse and sexual, unfit for polite, formal, or family settings. It is documented here so the slang is understood by those unfamiliar with it, not for respectable use, and it belongs among the many blunt, un-euphemistic terms for the genitals that circulate frankly within the sexually explicit register of the dancehall and the street.
