Meanings

1

noun

grilled skewered taros with miso

A traditional Japanese dish: taros (or sometimes other tubers) are skewered, grilled, and coated with a sweet miso glaze. The term is a specific type of 田楽 (dengaku).

2

noun

parent-child incest

Colloquial and vulgar slang. The word plays on the image of skewering (田楽) and the homophonic association of 芋 (imo) with 'parent' and 'child' in certain slang contexts. Extremely offensive and rarely used outside of crude jokes or specific subcultural references.
