Badonkadonk (sometimes pronounced "badunkadunk") is a slang term for a woman's buttocks that are voluptuously large and firm.
Origin
Originally, the word was hip hop slang. It first appeared in mass media in 2001 in a line by rapper Keith Murray in the song "Fatty Girl": "You got a badonkadonk, girl, don't hurt nobody!" The term gained a wider audience in the fall of 2002 through Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's #2 hit "Work It" which includes the lyric "keep your eyes on my ba-bump-ba-bump-bump, and see if you can handle this ba-donk-a-donk-donk" .
Throughout the 2002 season of Crank Yankers, badonkadonk was a catchword of the character Spoonie Luv voiced by comedian Tracy Morgan. Morgan explained the term during his August 16, 2003 appearance on Late Night With Conan O'Brien as "one cheek goes up, badonkadonk; the other goes down, badonkadonk". The term was also featured as an example of black slang in "I Know Black People", a quiz show skit from the second season of Chappelle's Show.
