How to say gay in English

Below are the words of our English Gay Dictionary that we will expand in new editions. But first some information about the language and this dictionary.

English is an Indo-European language spoken by over 500 million people and is official in more than 80 countries and territories. The national varieties of English, as well as Polari slang or Cockney rhyming slang, create specific words from particular regions and others that travel from one place to another while retaining its meaning or exchanging it for another similar or radically different.

Most of the words are from the 19th and 20th centuries, but some date back to the 17th century, so you can find words that are no longer used, but all are useful to unravel how humanity has been linked to the homosexual behavior. There are also current expressions which, with time, we will expand.

The majority of the terms are originally created by straight people, so somehow expressed contempt and hostility that fear of homosexual behavior produced and continues producing, although in many cases the passage of time has been erased all that negativity and ended up being incorporated into normal speech and even into LGBT vocabulary.

Following the classification of Professor William A. Percy we can relate the terms and expressions of our English Gay Dictionary in 4 groups:

1) For gays with the active sexual role.

2) For gays with a passive sexual role.

3) For effeminate men. The patriarchal feminization, in addition to turning homosexual men into women, by a puerile but tenacious psycho-biological determinism, transfers the worst stereotyped characteristics of women to gay men for the simple fact of being.

4) For homosexuals who perform fellatio.

To which we have considered interesting add two more groups:

5) The jargon of the gay community, which often is extremely brutal and other rather funny.

6) The jargon of male prisons, that somehow shows the sexual plasticity of men.

The words and expressions of our English Gay Dictionary have been obtained from many different sources, but unlike many of these sources, which are copies from one another, each of the items has been analyzed, investigated, contrasted and expanded within the possibilities. During the making of this dictionary, we have met with the revealing, extensive and excellent work of William Percy, professor at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, that is collected in the magnificent and extensive Encyclopedia of homosexuality, not quoted as a source but rather as an approach.

    Ace queen

    great queen. 70s expression of the prison slang for who wears a more feminine look as possible, with shaved legs and plucked eyebrows, etc. This same phenomenon we have seen today, for example, in Latin America prisons, where the transformation of a gay man in a woman may suppose some protection and even survival. Modern prisons in the more developed countries, with vis-à vis-protocols, allow men to have sex with women. The question is whether, although undercover, homosexual behavior still roam freely or not in modern prisons.

  • +

    Anal buckaneer

    it is the first of our expressions with this meaning. Pirate, bandit, thief, rider, kicker… of ass. Although it is a term used in the 80s in gay bashing, Anal buckaneer refers to the active (top) role in sexual relations, that in some sense is masculine and virile, and is opposed, for example, to Ass boy (one man reduced to a single part of his body, the ass, made available to anyone who wants to fuck him), that in the same way serve to insult gays but would establish a different category, because a boy is less manly than a buccaneer or a bandit. Despite as faggot is the top as the bottom, insults let us read between the lines, that the classical systems of homosexual behavior, the teacher-pupil and master-slave, still in force today, so expressions for top gay are less derogatory than the expressions for bottoms.

  • +

    Anal jabber

    ass inyector, ass-kicker. Another expression of the 80 used in gay bashing, which also has the sense of top in anal intercourse.

    Androgyne

    Arse bandit

    expression originated in the UK to insult gays, also belonging to the collection of expressions for the “least bad” top gays.


    Variations Ass bandit.

  • +

    Ass boy

    in this expression, used to insult gays and more specifically to bottoms, two important issues in gay slang come together. On the one hand we have the issue of youth, associated with the passive (bottom) role in sex inherited from Greek master-pupil system, and secondly the loss of masculinity or feminization also associated with the passive role, which it is produced by the reduction of the person to the only usefull, his ass, just as happens with women who are reduced to their pussy. This fact is reinforced with other related expressions such as Boy-Pussy or Gash, where the passive role in sex, femininity and female prostitution are related.

  • +

    Ass pirate

    expression used in the 90s in gay bashing, but referred to top ones.

    Aunt

    used to call middle-aged or elderly gay men. Some suggest that Aunt(ie) was initially slang of madam, or old prostitute who ran a brothel, producing, as in many cases, a semantic transition from prostitute to homosexual man. It can also be used to call a lesbian who is a mentor or protective of a homosexual man.

    The meaning of Aunt Mame is aunt mom and is used to name middle-aged gay men. This expression is related to the 1958 film “Auntie Mame”, in which a middle-aged woman takes care of her orphaned nephew, educating him by extravagant lifestyle. A film with many signs to the gay audience, as you can see in the frame below, becoming an icon, which got through censorship, and has several Academy Award nominations and winning a pair of Golden Globes.

    Bat

    is slang for homosexual boy, probably because in the early 17th century it was used to name the guys who prostituted themselves.

    One of the most prolific sources to insult male homosexuals was male prostitution. There is evidence of male prostitution since the Middle Ages in Spain, the origin of the word “Puto” with the same meaning, as in the City of London, and others say it was widespread throughout Europe and the United States.

    There were 2 types of male prostitution, on the one hand by very masculine men, usually soldiers who were poorly paid at that time, which were available as sexually active couples, and on the other a much older tradition, it was done by cross-dressing men who frequented some bars and taverns. In the 17th and 18th centuries those effeminate men were called “Mollies” which comes from “Moll” (petform of “Mary”), and the places where they worked were called Molly-houses.

    expression used in the late 19th century to appoint gay men, which origin is in the same British slang expression to appoint women prostitutes.

    Catamite

    Catamite is an archaic word that has the meaning of a young boy kept by an older man to have sex or, in general, a homosexual boy. It comes from the Latin catamītus, which comes from the Etruscan catamite, which in turn comes from the Greek Ganymede.

    Ganymede shares the origin with the expression catamite

    Astronomer Simon Marius suggested the name of Ganymede to the moon discovered by Galileo in 1610, inspired, funny the Simon, by mythical history. Ganymede and catamite share origin.

    To find the meaning of this expression, we need to go to the story of Ganymede itself, the satellite of the planet Jupiter, the most beautiful of mortals, Trojan prince and, the ideal of male beauty who won Zeus/Jupiter love. The king of gods turned into an eagle, kidnapped him and gone to the Olympus to become his lover and the cupbearer of the gods (more or less)

    And this androphilic mythological story about the most beautiful of mortals was soon corrupted as the word itself since, in ancient Rome, a catamītus was the young man desired and penetrated by men. And this happened in a historical context in which the Romans, men who had active/top sex with men, had transformed the Greek model of the homosexual relationship, the master-pupil, into the master-slave model. And who says slave, says kept or paid.

    Therefore it is not strange that the word became, especially from the 16th century, with the re-discovery of the classics, in a suitable term to refer to those young people that because of their beauty, they were worthy of being loved by other men. And also giving them a more noble connotation than other words of the time, that had a more popular sense and often associated with prostitution. Although not for being the term cult and nobler, the catamites were more tolerated.

    Finally, we must comment that Catamite is a slang that we find in countless languages with the same meaning, which indicates that the same happened in the whole world over.

    Cock-sucker

    the oldest record of this expression dates from 1891 in the UK, and is defined as “fellatrix” (from fellatio). A little later, in 1915, in the United States, appears the registration of “head-worker”, being used to insult homosexuals in general.


    Synonyms Blowboy, Flute(r), Cannibal, Gobbler, Larro (anagram of Or(r)al), Mouser, Muzzler, Dick-sucker, Dick(ie)-licker, Skin-diver, Nibbler, Lapper, Lick-box.

    Cornholer

    Cornholer is an American rural slang expression, which the first reference appears in 1951, to name homosexual men. It could be interpreted as a hole maker or who puts the cob in the hole. It could have the meaning of making holes with corn (penis) or having sex in the cornfield.

    Interestingly exists in America a bait to hunt deer that has the same name and its slogan is “Funny name, serious results! Below you have the photo of the item, which sells for $ 9.99. Please do not confuse this with a dildo!

    There is also a game that involves throwing small bags filled with corn to introduce them in a hole. Apparently, the slang came from the game, meaning that to make a “cornhole” was fuck a guy, deriving to “cornholer”, who makes it.

    Effie

    effeminate diminutive of the word used to insult men or boys who are. Most insults for gay men fall into the categories of male passivity and effeminacy, involving the lack or waiver of one’s masculinity. By contrast, the terms for homosexuals with active (top) sexual role, rarely involve the loss of femininity or masculinity, which could reinforce the idea that homosexual behavior is more abundant than it might seem, considering that insults for active (top) men in anal intercourse generally have a radically different tone and instead of being “like women” are bandits, pirates, buccaneers, thieves, etc.

However facultative homosexuality express the idea that a hererosexual man can show homosexual inclinations and have sexual desire for a man and act accordingly, and after his release from prison back to his heterosexual life. This remains a sublimation, because excuse homosexual behavior, in the sense that men have homosexual relationships because they have no choice, as if it were a lesser evil instead a human capacity. It remains to be seen, in this return to heterosexuality, if not actually is the beginning of a bisexual life.

    Fag

    expression that appears in the 20s to point to an effeminate gay man or boy.

    Forty-one

    Forty-one is an expression used in the state of Texas (USA) to refer to homosexual men. The origin of this expression is found in neighboring Mexico, where the same expression is used in Spanish, due to a scandal that occurred in 1901 in Mexico City, where 41 homosexuals, many of well-to-do classes, were imprisoned due to a dance private, in which almost half were men dressed as women. This incident is known as “The Dance of the Forty-One”. It is said that in reality, they were 42, but one of them was the son-in-law of President Porfirio Diaz, who was allowed to escape. Those who could not afford freedom or silence were sentenced to hard labor in the Oaxaca National Valley. So the number 41 was avoided in Mexico for a long, long time.

    Girl

    paradigmatic expression used for appointing a homosexual man, especially for effeminate ones and also with passive (bottom) sexual role.

    The key to understanding the large number of expressions for passive (bottom) or effeminate gays is the supposed reversal of gender and sex roles when someone takes, or seems to have, a behavior considered “natural” or “appropriate” for the opposite sex.

    According to this Manichean scheme, a homosexual with passive (bottom) sexual role should be in some sense, a woman; even a man who is raped is considered to have lost their manhood and in fact becomes a woman. Many slang terms for passive homosexual personify directly as a vagina or anus (Gash, Boy-pussy, Bumboy); Another common procedure is to use a word that has female reference as is the use of a woman’s name (Mary,Pansy, Marjery); or can be any of the large number of words commonly used for women (fem, bich, wife); or else a word that refers to the stereotypical female behavior (limp-wrist, flit, swish).
