In slang, crowning has several meanings depending on context. The most common slang use outside of childbirth is in dental slang where crowning means getting a dental cap, but in urban slang and internet culture, crowning can mean reaching the top or best moment, as in crowning achievement meaning greatest success. In some slang, crowning means to hit someone on the head, as in to crown someone, meaning to strike them on the crown of the head. In drug culture, crowning is sometimes used to describe the top of a drug package. In British slang, crowning can refer to being at the peak of something. In music and sports, crowning means declaring someone the winner or champion, to crown a champion. In sexual slang, crowning is occasionally used crudely to describe the tip of something visible, borrowed from the childbirth term. In general everyday slang, if someone says she is crowning, they might mean she is at her peak or showing her best. However, the most widely known meaning of crowning remains the medical term from childbirth when baby's head is visible, and slang uses are less common and highly context dependent.
