The D

About

The D is an abbreviated term most commonly referencing to the word “Dick”, a slang term for the male penis. On the internet, the term is often used as an euphemism for requesting intercourse, specifically from a man, in either first or third person narration. This is commonly done in the form of catchphrases such as “I Want The D” or “She Wants The D”.

Origin

The D first made an appearance on the 2004 single “So Sexy” by American rapper Twista featuring R&B artist R. Kelly. The song was the second single released from Twista’s fourth album, Kamikaze, and became Twista’s third straight top 40 hit from the album, having peaked at 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Interlude Lyrics (R. Kelly):

OHH! And this is for them girls that be wantin – the D
And this is for them girls that be lovin – the D
And this is for them girls that be ridin – the D
The ones that like to keep the D up inside ’em now
