What does聽truffle butter mean?
Outside of cooking and eating, truffle butter is, um, not very appetizing.
It’s sexual slang for the secretions left on a woman after anal then vaginal sex, popularized by rapper Nicki Minaj’s 2014 song of the same name.
Where does truffle butter come from?
People have been cooking with truffles, a kind of fungus, since Egyptian times. They’ve historically been the subject of superstition, with ancient Greeks and Romans thinking they contributed to eternal life and medieval Christians associating them with the devil.
Today, truffles are an expensive luxury item in all their forms, including when made into聽compound butter made with black or white truffles.
But, of course, we can’t have nice things.
In December, 2014, US rapper Nicki Minaj released the song “Truffle Butter.”聽On it, Minaj, Lil Wayne, and Drake rap about their success, mentioning聽truffle butter twice. In the first instance, Drake names “filets with the truffle butter” as a luxury item he can afford. Lil Wayne later mentions “truffle butter on your pussy,” intended as some form of erotic extravagance.
Some enterprising listener, it seems, ran with Lil Wayne’s聽truffle butter聽line, concocting some sexual slang sense for it 脿 la聽肠谤别补尘辫颈别听or more absurd and gross ones like 迟丑别听Cleveland Steamer. The聽first Urban Dictionary entry defining the term in this way appeared only a few weeks after聽The Pinkprint dropped.
In an interview with GQ, Wayne said he didn’t know that the phrase had a sexual meaning and was intending to play off the same theme of luxury as Drake. That’s because the slang doesn’t seem to have existed until him.
The song got plenty of exposure, peaking at #11 on the Billboard music charts and staying on the charts for 15 weeks, with the official lyric video amassing more than 30-million views to date. Curious fans looked up truffle butter聽and found their way to an explicit answer. The聽term hit its all-time high in Google searches in March, 2015, coinciding with the release of the lyric video.

Recently, though no one has forgotten about the Nicki Minaj song that sparked the term’s popularity,聽truffle butter has begun to reclaim a little of its original meaning. Restaurants are no longer scared to mention the topping on social media, at least.
