 * Keep and expand The term 'Toni' actually has several different slang meanings which vary by region and throughout the world, mostly in the United States and Italy. This article should not be limited to this one short-lived meaning, which was mostly pejorative, and used only in the African-American gay subculture of Washington DC. The meanings in various regions are either positive or negative, and have various uses in popular culture. The example given here was mostly used in the 1970s, save an appearance in a 1990s song by rapper DJ Kool in a song that was not released as a single, but was played a lot at DC area clubs and parties. Overall, this is one of the more obscure meanings of the term only known to mostly DC natives of the baby boomer generation (I am one myself). As a language teacher, I have studied a lot of slang and dialects, and I am familiar with several more meanings of this term, which can be described beyond a dicdef. Until then, this title should be merged to Toni, a disambiguation page where it can be described in one line. 209.183.32.14 (talk) 15:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There are verifiability issues with those claims. By all means, recreate the article if you can provide verfiable information beyond the definition. VG &#x260E; 21:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
