figa

vulva (vulgar)

noun FEE-gah Rare

Also means

attractive woman (very vulgar slang)

Usage Note

Figa is strongly vulgar anatomical slang. In broader colloquial use it also means an attractive woman, but both uses are offensive in formal or mixed company. The adjective figo/figa ('cool, hot, attractive') is derived from it but is widely used by young Italians without the anatomical force — though still informal. Learners should recognise all senses but use with extreme caution.

Examples

"Quella ragazza è una figa."

Natural Translation

That girl is a hottie.
