Despite our shrink's objections, We took a trip down memory lane yesterday and broached the subject of Gay Speak: the things we've been called - or have called others - because of our - or their - homo ways. For good or ill, these colloquy hold a special place in our cold, bitter hearts.
We asked you, our darling readers, to submit some of your favorites to aid in our efforts to build an extensive Gay Speak dictionary. We plan to hustle it on the rush hour trains for a buck to keep a roof over our pretty little heads. No credit will be given, naturally.
You guys submitted some real charmers, ie: pillow biter, sperm burper (gross), sword swallower. How could we have forgotten sissy? Eric and Allen, whoever they are, offered some Hawaiian with mahu and huna - not sure what they mean, but okay. Mikey likes rump rangler, and we do, too.
A kind Brit named George clarified: "I don't think 'tosser' is used as a derogatory term for 'gay'. It's just a variation on 'wanker.'" He saucily added, "...A Brit might have called you a tosser, but not because you're gay!" Gee, thanks.
Anyway, we love all help. Keep 'em coming, you limp-wristed turd burglars. And get your lady friends involved, we need some lezzie language, too!

Mahu is just the Hawaiian word for gay. It's not a bad thing at all.
From Clueless: ''Your man Christian is a cake-boy. (...) He''s a disco-dancing, Oscar Wilde-reading, Streisand ticket-holder friend of Dorothy. Know what I''m saying?''
Some lesbo language: Muff Diver, Donut Bumper, Carpet Muncher. I've heard someone say, "She likes to dial "O" on the pink telephone.
more lezzie language for you all: lets not forget dyke, bulldozer, cunt sucker, lemon.
In Venezuela people call us parcha a short version of parchita or passion fruit. We are also called patos which means ducks!!!.
Light in the loafers.
Lodge brothers.
My two favorite slang terms for lesbians are both based on the linguistic confusion between "lesbian" and "Lebanese": (1) lesbianese (which I've actually heard used to refer to both lesbians and people from Lebanon), and (2) tabouli-eater.
"Bloom County" had a wonderful series of strips where Steve Dallas' right wing mom came to realize that many of her favorite entertainment figures "Went up the down staircase", "Goes in the out door" and (my personal favorite) referring to a 60's crooner... " Are you telling me that he putts from the rough?"
Yep, tosser is another British version of wanker. Comes from the expression for masturbation - "to toss yourself off". Can't remember half of them, but the following spring to mind - puff, homo, queer, fairy, bummer (Brits say "bum" or "arse" not "ass") arse-bandit, uphill gardener, shirt-lifter, playing from the other end of the (cricket) pavillion, nancy-boy.
For lesbians I know these - lemon-licker, rug muncher, dyke and the wonderful "from the People's Republic of Lesbania" for radical feminist lesbians.
I do so love the older terms--nelly queen, "a little bit lavender."
For lesbians, let's not forget crack-snacker!
