Is this term in rap music slang or literal? If it’s literal, how do ladies pop their coochies? ---

Never heard it but it sounds like sex to me. maybe something to do with the sound that the penis+vagina+air sometimes make during sex. ---

Praise Luke Skyywalker. It’s just a sex metaphor. Pop that coochie, as in puncture the orifice with a penis. Of course as with any pop culture/sex slang it gets used for multiple meanings of various correctness. ---

:eek: Eeeeeeew! This is definitely going on the “list of things of which we do not speak”. Makes “bearded clam” sound positively lyical 😛 ---

People. People! “Pussy poppin” _can_ refer to sexual acts, but it is commonly used to describe a dance style. I’m terrible at describing things, but if this doesn’t help, check just about any rap video. Anyway, imagine a girl standing there, knees shoulder-width apart. She then takes her crotch and (without moving her upper torso) “pops” it forward. Also, it can be where a girl is dancing and leans back, tilting her pevis up, so a guy can “pop it” AKA simulate sex. My friend had a cheer coach that would yell out, “POP THEM COOCHIES, GIRLS!” Yeah. ---

**DB** , true but the sex metaphor predates the dance. The first references I know of are **2 Live Crew** , who used the phrase to mean sex in their earliest albums and then in '91 released a dance track called _Pop that Pussy_ which detailed the dance and may or may not have been the creation of it. ---

“Pussy Poppin’”? Sounds like a title for a porn parody of a Disney classic. ---

I have the unfortunate knowlege of what a pussy pop is, and it isn’t a dance. And I thought my side of the family were wackos… ---
