| 词汇 | poontang |
| 词源 | poontang. Thomas Wolfe used this word for the vagina or “a piece” in Look Homeward, Angel, and Calder Willingham used it more graphically in End As a Man. The black and southern white expression, first referring to black women and now to both blacks and whites, might be expected to have a diverting story behind it, as unusual as poontang sounds. But it probably comes from the French putain, “prostitute,” by way of New Orleans. |
