Laffy Taffy is a song by the Atlanta based hip-hop group D4L, which gained high radio airplay in the United States in late 2005. The term "laffy taffy" may refer to the backside of a woman, as various other sexual innuendoes are distributed throughout the song. Some believe that it is when a girl shakes her butt, then stops shaking, the part of her butt that continues to jiggle is called Laffy Taffy.
Another possibility is that the "Laffy Taffy" they are referring to is the labia minora of the female genitalia, which in some females resembles stretched out taffy. See also 50 Cent's "Candy Shop." It is slang term used mainly by men who frequent strip clubs in which women perform in the nude. The true definition is often hidden from females because the development of the "Laffy Taffy" condition may be embarrassing for a female, as this suggests excessive sexual intercourse.
The confusion in the meaning of the phrase is due to the true meaning not being acceptable in mainstream society. This is similar to the phrase "Skeet" which was popularised by Lil Jon. Most did not know the true meaning of skeet, yet they still liked the song and sang along oblivious to what they were singing. For these reasons, it is often convenient to refer to Laffy Taffy as the buttocks of a woman, even though that definition makes no logical sense in relation to what the candy Laffy Taffy looks like.
Criticism
The song has been the center to much criticism: not from women's groups, but instead hip hop music listeners. They criticize the song for its mysoginistic lyrics, but even more so for the simplistic production and lyrics as a whole. The song has been considered by some the worst song of the year, and by some the worst song of all time.
