Definition
Verb: * To obtain sexual gratification through self-stimulation; to masturbate (used specifically for a female subject). This is an informal, slang term.
Usage
This verb is used intransitively. It is a highly informal, colloquial, and somewhat dated slang term. Its use is specific to female masturbation.
Examples
- The song's lyrics controversially suggested the singer would "she-bop" to the music.
- (Informal/Slang context) In some frank discussions among friends, the term might be used, e.g., "She admitted she sometimes she-bops to relieve stress."
Advanced Usage
- The term is most famously known from the 1984 pop song "She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper, which used playful, coded language to refer to female masturbation and explored themes of censorship.
Variants and Related Words

- Self-pleasure (verb/noun): A more modern, euphemistic term.
Synonyms

Notes on Meaning
This word has a very narrow, specific meaning. It is not a standard English verb and would not be used in formal, academic, or professional contexts. Its recognition stems almost entirely from popular culture (the Cyndi Lauper song). Outside of that context or very specific informal slang, it is rarely used.
