What does this mean?

Is this a regional thing, how would you say this?

Is this correct?
Is this the correct words?

I dropped the cherry off my cigarette and burned pot hole in my new shirt and the couch.

Thank you

In this context, it apparently means the (cherry) red hot ash on the tip of a (tobacco) cigarette. I had never heard this usage before in my life. However, it apparently has been in use for many years (maybe even centuries) in all English-speaking countries.

  • This is informal speech, and if you're going to use the term, it would be in an informal-sounding sentence, for example: Yikes, cherry made a hole in my new shirt.
