In the United States, the word dunny has become an obscure relic of 1990s New York City slang and pre-crunk AAVE. Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1998) defines a dunny as one who is "deaf, stupid." However, the slang usage means just the opposite, and both it and its shortened form, 'dunn,' are used as terms of endearment. The use of the words 'dunny' and 'dun' were popularized in New York and beyond by several New York rappers in the 1990s, including the Queens duo Mobb Deep, who in their hit single Quiet Storm use the word 'dun' on at least one occasion (derived from replacing the 's' in certain words with 'd' for effect; for instance, 'dan dolo' is a reference to the Star Wars character Han Solo).
