Dengou? Perhaps you meant "Dengonn"
Dengonn(abstract) buttocks

example:
Li toujou la nan dengonn mwen, tankou yon pongongon.
She's there always up my butt, like a pain.

Poukisa ou toujou la nan dengonn mwen konsa?

Bègwènaive, slowpoke, childlike

example:Toto pa konnen sa l'ap fè. Li tankou yon ti bègwè.
