puff puff

Nigerian street snack

Puff puff is a West African fried dough ball, similar to a donut hole or beignet—golden, slightly sweet, and often served as street food or at celebrations.

The name mimics the puffy, airy texture.

In cannabis slang, puff puff refers to taking two hits before passing a joint, from the etiquette phrase puff puff pass.
