Here’s What ‘WAP’ Means, in Case You Were Too Afraid to Ask
Wetter is better when it comes to vaginal intercourse. If it’s too dry down there, sex can be painful for the receiver and the giver. Lube is an excellent way to eliminate friction during sex…but of course, some vulva-owners get dripping wet on their own when they’re feeling turned on. These people have a WAP, which stands for Wet-Ass Pussy. If you always wondered what WAP stood for…now you know! Congrats.
The acronym was created and popularized by Cardi B in her August 2020 single “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion. “WAP” debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Cardi her fourth number-one single in the United States. It also received numerous other awards and accolades, including winning Favorite Song – Rap/Hip-Hop at the American Music Awards and Video of the Year along with Best Collaboration at the BET awards.
In general, the song received an overwhelmingly positive response for its sex-positive messaging. However, some more conservative individuals have chastised Cardi B for the highly sexualized lyrics and sexually explicit music video.
In her single, Cardi raps:
I said, certified freak
Seven days a week
Wet-ass pussy
Make that pull-out game weak, woo (ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy
Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass pussy
Give me everything you got for this wet-ass pussy.
The song also popularized other sexual expressions, including “macaroni in a pot” to describe how wet a person’s vagina is. It also laid the groundwork for the opposite acronym to arise: “DAP,” or “Dry-Ass Pussy.” (Cardi B actually recorded a video attempting to explain why some women have a DAP.)
As a friendly reminder, the vagina self-lubricates when someone is aroused (unlike the anus, which doesn’t self-lubricate). While having a WAP is undoubtedly a source of pride for many vulva-owners, there are many things that can cause a person to not have a wet vagina when they’re turned on, including a change in hormone levels, birth control medications, and anxiety. That’s why a partner may be very wet one day and not as wet a week later when you have sex. The takeaway? It’s always a good idea to keep a bottle of lube on your nightstand.
You can watch the full music video to “WAP” here, as long as you’re prepared to be extremely turned on. (Following the release of the video, searches for Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion grew by 235% and 210% respectively compared to their daily average, Pornhub revealed on its Insights blog.)
