How it's used

Primarily refers to a backyard or courtyard in a residential context, but carries a strong, explicit sexual connotation when used in slang. Using it to refer to a literal garden is perfectly safe, but context is crucial to avoid unintended double entendres. When used in the anatomical sense, it is considered vulgar and should be avoided in polite conversation.

backyard flower (often used as a poetic or metaphorical reference)

Common mistake

Do not use this word to describe the back of a building or a rear alleyway, as it specifically implies a private outdoor space or the anatomical area. Use 後門 for a back door or back entrance to avoid confusion.
