A figgin is a small short-crust pasty containing raisins, according to [[the Dictionary of Eye-Watering Words]]. Figgins seem to be a popular coffee-time snack in Ankh-Morpork, but the word is also used as a euphemism for something by which you would not want to be hung. It would seem that there is a history of baked goods having an... intimate... double meaning (See [[Twopenny Upright]])

==Figgins as a Euphemism==
*The oath of allegiance of the [[Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night]], contained a description of the horrors that would befall a traitor, ending: "...and his ''figgin'' placed upon a spike."
*It is said that [[Mad Lord Snapcase]] was, upon his overthrow, strung up by his ''figgin''. This indicates that either language has changed a lot or that there is some horrible aspect to being suspended next to a teacake.
