10 Gay Slang Terms You Need To Know About!
Dear Straight People,
Find out the meaning behind the obeying 10 gay slang terms and how they came about!
1. ‘Prawn’
Meaning: An unsightly gay man with a good body
Explanation: When you eat a prawn, you peel off the chief and only enjoy the body right? Same idea applies here.
2. ‘Fag Hag’
Meaning: A woman with many gay male friends
Explanation: It is plausible that since ‘fag’ refers to gay men in general and ‘hag’ commonly denotes an unattractive woman, the term ‘Fag hag’ probably came about since the fag hag is perceived as a hag to gay men as they have no sexual interest in her.
3. ‘Beard’
Meaning: Someone married to a gay person as a cover up
Explanation: A beard is an accessory often used to emphasise a man’s masculinity. The gay slang term ‘beard’ can be thought of in much the similar way since in this case, a woman is used as an accessory to emphasise the homosexual man’s masculinity.
4. ‘Muscle Mary’
Meaning: A feminine muscular lgbtq+ man
Explanation: The ‘Mary’ part of the term is used to em bog queen Synonyms: Bathsheba (composition between bathroom and Sheba to create a name reminiscent of the Queen of Sheba), Ghost (50s, ghost, because they wander the corridors of the bathroom). Part of the playfulness of researching 1920’s and 1930’s Gender non-conforming subculture in Fresh York City was coming across a wide variety of specialized slang and coded terms that flourished among queer men and women of the time. Some of these terms are solely of their period, some have survived into the new era, albeit often with modified meanings. Not surprisingly, for a social group that for the most part did not conduct themselves openly in society, a lot of these terms constitute a kind of classified language available only to those “in the club”. They describe sexual preferences and types, as well as particular places and activities important to homosexuals of the time. Folding these terms into the libretto of “Speakeasy – The Adventures of John and Jane Allison in the Wonderland” was a lot of fun. For the most part the meaning of the words should be clear in context. However a little confusion can be fun too, as in this moment, when John Allison eavesdrops on a trio of Gay Florists and Julian Carnation: FLORIST 1: You can keep 42nd Street. Give me the Brooklyn Navy Yard. FLORIST 2: You and your seafood, Violet! FL
