10/10 what is the etymology of the word "poon tang"? i couldn't find it
in any dictionaries. it sounds like a loan word from some asian
language. does anyone know?
\_ From OED : poontang, n.
Also poon tang and with capital initial(s).
[Prob. ad. Fr. putain prostitute.]
Sexual intercourse, sex; women collectively, or a woman,
regarded as a means of sexual gratification. Also attrib.
Hence as v. intr., to copulate.
\_ thanks! i was right about the loan word part, wrong about
origin...
\_ Don't forget, Vietnam was a French colony.
\_ Bah. The slang was in use before then. Based out of
New Orleans/Louisiana. |
