- baby gravy62%
A crude and frequently humorous British and American vulgar slang term for semen. The term combines 'baby' (evoking reproductive purpose) with 'gravy' (a thick, viscous liquid), creating a deliberately grotesque and comical image. Typical register is laddish humour, shock comedy, and informal male banter. Essentially a jokey euphemism — not used in serious or clinical contexts. The humour relies on the contrast between the mundane domesticity of 'gravy' and the sexual referent.
