EN: prostitute; promiscuous person (derogatory)
This is a harsh, derogatory term you definitely shouldn't use. It's an insult thrown around to shame someone, usually a woman, for their perceived sexual behavior. It's the verbal equivalent of a slut-shaming grenade. While its primary meaning is 'prostitute,' it's often used more broadly (and unfairly) as a general insult. Handle with extreme caution, or better yet, just don't use it.
Possibly onomatopoeic, from the sound of pounding or knocking ("pokpok"), metaphorically extended.
A highly offensive and derogatory slang term. Its use is strongly discouraged as it is considered vulgar and misogynistic.
