New York City AAVE slang for a notably large, shapely backside. Used primarily as a noun but also adjectivally in some contexts. The term carries an appreciative connotation in many uses — praising someone's physical figure — though like much body-focused slang, context and delivery determine whether it reads as complimentary or objectifying. Most prevalent in NYC street culture and hip-hop influenced social media, particularly in the 2010s–2020s.

New York City AAVE slang for a large, prominent butt. Used appreciatively in most contexts — a jatty is something complimented rather than mocked in this usage. Common in NYC street slang, hip-hop references, and social media discussions of physical attractiveness. The term has remained relatively local to New York rather than spreading widely into broader American slang. The term's geographic specificity to New York reflects the city's long tradition of generating slang that stays local even as some of it eventually spreads nationally.
