Etymology: "Roastie" is a plain combination of "roast" and the diminutive-style suffix "-ie," the same ending found in words like "hottie" or "goalie." On its own, the suffix just makes a noun that refers to something associated with the base word, so the building blocks are ordinary English. The meaning is what makes the word notable. In internet slang, a "roastie" is a woman, often one described as promiscuous, and the term refers to her vulva. The comparison is to the filling of a roast beef sandwich: the image is of something that gets passed around or consumed, which is the crude joke behind the coinage. It is slang with an explicit, derogatory sexual sense, and it is used in online communities rather than in formal writing.
