punani
Slang for vagina
Punani is a vulgar slang term for the vagina or female genitalia, originating in Jamaican patois and popularized through dancehall and hip-hop music.
It can also refer more broadly to sex or to women viewed as sexual objects.
The word appears in casual speech and song lyrics but remains crude and potentially offensive in most contexts.
