How it's used
The number eleven refers to the age of consent in the colonial era legal code, which was eleven years old. It is strictly a slang term used to describe the specific criminal offense of sexual relations with a person under the age of sixteen. Using this term in a formal or legal context is highly inappropriate as it trivializes a serious crime.
Examples
He was arrested for having sex with a minor.
