You may have seen the word “bomboklat” (or “bumbaclaat”) on social media, but what exactly does it mean? This Jamaican slang word is often used to express shock, horror or frustration, but it can also take the place of an expletive – depending on the context. In this article, we’ll explain the meaning of the word “bomboclat”, including its origin, different meanings, and whether or not it’s okay to use it in conversation.
“Bomboclat” is a Jamaican slang word used to express shock, horror or frustration. “Bombo” means butt, and “clat” means cloth, so the direct translation of “bomboclat” is “butt cloth”. The term refers to menstrual pads or toilet paper, so it can also be a vulgar insult if it means “dib***” or “mom cu***”.
