Coney
(Redirected from Cony)
Coney may be:
- an obsolete English word for a rabbit, or rabbit's hair. Originally it was pronounced in a way that rhymed with money and honey. Later its pronunciation changed to a long "o" following its adoption as a slang term for the female genitals (usually spelled cunny when used with this meaning). Coney Island in New York is named from this word. In Elizabethan English the phrase "Coney catching" referred to confidence tricks, as in Robert Greene's The Art of Coney Catching.
- a type of hot dog served at one of the Detroit-based "Coney Island" restaurants.
