Pojiti is a term that can refer to several things, most commonly a type of traditional Filipino dessert and a slang term used in some contexts.

As a dessert, pojiti is a sweet confection typically made from glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar. It often incorporates ingredients like jackfruit, pandan leaves, or ube to add flavor and color. The mixture is usually steamed or cooked until it reaches a sticky, chewy consistency. It can be served warm or cold and is sometimes garnished with toasted coconut flakes. Pojiti is a popular treat during festive occasions and celebrations in the Philippines. Variations of this dessert exist across different regions, with slight differences in ingredients and preparation methods.

In some informal or slang contexts, particularly online, "pojiti" can be used as a playful or sometimes derogatory term. The specific meaning can vary greatly depending on the community or group using it. It is not a recognized word in standard dictionaries and its usage is highly contextual. Therefore, understanding its meaning requires knowledge of the specific subculture or conversation in which it appears. Due to its informal nature, its usage is generally avoided in formal writing or communication.
