Poes Klap

(noun, vulgar slang; Kaaps)


Pronounced: /PUSH-club/

Definition: A very forceful, brutal slap used to express serious anger, punishment or dominance.

Origin: “Poesklap” is a compound of poes, a vulgar Afrikaans term for female genitalia (used here as a crude intensifier), and klap, meaning “slap.” The word poes has roots in Dutch (where poes can mean “pussy” or “cat”) and was inherited into Afrikaans.
