Toni (slang)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In slang, a Toni (sometimes spelled Tony) is a homosexual male who approaches male strangers (who are usually straight) and asks them for sex, and aggressively persists to get what he wants, despite their declination.

The term, which was more popular in the 1960s and 1970s, was most commonly heard in the Washington, D.C. area and other nearby places. It was said during that time to be taking place usually on a public bus or train. Though it is mostly forgotten today, the term has made some short-lived comebacks among small groups in the area, and occasionally appeared in rap or hip hop lyrics.
