What is tenderoni meaning?

Tenderoni is a slang term that originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in the 1980s. It is used to describe a young and attractive woman who is seen as being naive or innocent in some way. The term "tender" refers to the fact that the woman is young and inexperienced, while the suffix "-oni" is likely derived from Italian suffixes such as "-one" or "-oni" that often indicate something large or impressive.

Some people also use the term tenderoni to refer to a young man with similar qualities, although this usage is less common. The term has been used in various songs and pop culture references, including Michael Jackson's song "PYT (Pretty Young Thing)" and Bobby Brown's song "My Prerogative." However, it is worth noting that the term may be seen as objectifying or demeaning, as it reduces a woman's worth to her physical attractiveness and perceived naivete.
