konyo

• conyo
• coño

Possibly from Spanish coño (“cunt; pussy; damn!”) or Spanish de nuevo cuño (“(of a person) who has recently entered a profession, union or social class.”). The sense referring to “coming from a wealthy family” is said to have come from high-class people who curse “Coño!” during the 1950s. Compare English conyo. See also English valley girl, Spanish fresa.
