LGBT slang

August 25, 2023

LGBT slang, LGBT speak, queer slang or gay slang is a set of English slang lexicon used predominantly among LGBTQ+ people. It has been used in various languages since the early 20th century as a means by which members of the LGBTQ+ community identify themselves and speak in code with brevity and speed to others.[1][2] The acronym LGBT was popularized in the 1990s and stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender.[3] It may refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender, instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant, LGBTQ, adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual or gender identity.[4]

LGBT slang has played an integral part in LGBTQ+ culture for decades. Slang language initially emerged as a way for queer people to communicate with one another while avoiding detection by mainstream society.[5] Queer people have always existed,[6] but historically, they have had to be discreet about their identities and lives, particularly when being LGBTQ+ was illegal and or socially condemned.

LGBT slang is used as a way to signal one's identity and build solidarity within the community. When Queer people use these certain words and phrases, they demonstrate to others that they are part of the LGBTQ+ community and share a common experience. This connection can create a sense of belonging for those historically rejected and isolated by mainstream society.[7]

LGBT slang is also used by the community as a means of reclaiming language and deconstructing oppressive norms. Queer slang often includes playful references to sexual acts, which can serve as an assertion of sexual agency and a rejection of shame.[8]

History and context

Because of sodomy laws and threat of prosecution due to the criminalization of homosexuality, LGBT slang has served as an argot or cant, a secret language and a way for the LGBT community to communicate with each other publicly without revealing their sexual orientation to others.[2][9][10] Since the advent of queer studies in universities, LGBT slang and argot has become a subject of academic research among linguistic anthropology scholars.[11]

 
The Butch and Femme society

During the first seven decades of the 20th century, a specific form of Polari was developed by gay men and lesbians in urban centres of the United Kingdom within established LGBT communities. Polari was featured on the BBC radio programme Round the Horne in 1964, exposing the wider public to the secret language.[12][13] Although there are differences, contemporary British gay slang has adopted many Polari words.[1][14] The 1964 legislative report Homosexuality and Citizenship in Florida contains an extensive appendix documenting and defining the homosexual slang in the United States at that time.[15][16] SCRUFF launched a gay-slang dictionary app in 2014, which includes commonly used slang in the United States from the gay community.[17] Specialized dictionaries that record LGBT slang have been found to revolve heavily around sexual matters.[18]

Slang is ephemeral; terms used in one generation may pass out of usage in another. For example, in the 1960s and 1970s, the terms "cottage" (chiefly British) and "tearoom" (chiefly American) were used to denote public toilets used for sex. By 1999, this terminology had fallen out of use to the point of being greatly unrecognizable by members of the LGBT community at large.[19]

Many terms that originated as gay slang have become part of the popular lexicon. For example, the word drag was popularized by Hubert Selby Jr. in his book Last Exit to Brooklyn. Drag has been traced back by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) to the late 19th Century. Conversely, words such as "banjee", while well-established in a subset of gay society, have never made the transition to popular use. Conversations between gay men have been found to use more slang and fewer commonly known terms about sexual behavior than conversations between straight men.[20]

In the Philippines, many LGBT people speak with Swardspeak, or "gay lingo", which is a more extensive use of slang as a form of dialect or way of speaking. Other argots are spoken in southern Africa (Gayle language and IsiNgqumo) and Indonesia (Bahasa Binan). More specifically, in a country like Thailand, LGBT slang was always present in their history due to their religious, behavioral, and social nature. However, before the term LGBT was introduced, the Thai community would use the terms Kathoey and Tom. The term Kathoey was used to describe transgender women who dress, act, or partake in surgery to become female, and the term Tom as well as "handsome girls" in Thai was used to describe women who liked women. Homosexuality and transgenderism has always existed throughout their history, as their behavioral nature did not align with heterosexual ideals.[21]

LGBT slang LGBT speak queer slang or gay slang is a set of English slang lexicon used predominantly among LGBTQ people It has been used in various languages since the early 20th century as a means by which members of the LGBTQ community identify themselves and speak in code with brevity and speed to others 1 2 The acronym LGBT was popularized in the 1990s and stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender 3 It may refer to anyone who is non heterosexual or non cisgender instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian gay bisexual or transgender To recognize this inclusion a popular variant LGBTQ adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual or gender identity 4 LGBT slang has played an integral part in LGBTQ culture for decades Slang language initially emerged as a way for queer people to communicate with one another while avoiding detection by mainstream society 5 Queer people have always existed 6 but historically they have had to be discreet about their identities and lives particularly when being LGBTQ was illegal and or socially condemned LGBT slang is used as a way to signal one s identity and build solidarity within the community When Queer people use these certain words and phrases they demonstrate to others that they are part of the LGBTQ community and share a common experience This connection can create a sense of belonging for those historically rejected and isolated by mainstream society 7 LGBT slang is also used by the community as a means of reclaiming language and deconstructing oppressive norms Queer slang often includes playful references to sexual acts which can serve as an assertion of sexual agency and a rejection of shame 8 Contents 1 History and context 2 General slang terms 3 Terms describing gay men 3 1 Slurs 4 Terms describing lesbians 5 Terms describing bisexual or pansexual people 6 Terms describing androgynous or intersex people 7 Terms describing transgender and non binary people 7 1 Slurs 8 Terms related to transgender and non binary people 9 Terms describing cisgender or heterosexual people 10 Terms describing asexuality or aromanticity 11 LGBT subgroups 12 See also 13 References 13 1 Citations 13 2 Works cited 14 Further reading 15 External linksHistory and context EditBecause of sodomy laws and threat of prosecution due to the criminalization of homosexuality LGBT slang has served as an argot or cant a secret language and a way for the LGBT community to communicate with each other publicly without revealing their sexual orientation to others 2 9 10 Since the advent of queer studies in universities LGBT slang and argot has become a subject of academic research among linguistic anthropology scholars 11 The Butch and Femme societyDuring the first seven decades of the 20th century a specific form of Polari was developed by gay men and lesbians in urban centres of the United Kingdom within established LGBT communities Polari was featured on the BBC radio programme Round the Horne in 1964 exposing the wider public to the secret language 12 13 Although there are differences contemporary British gay slang has adopted many Polari words 1 14 The 1964 legislative report Homosexuality and Citizenship in Florida contains an extensive appendix documenting and defining the homosexual slang in the United States at that time 15 16 SCRUFF launched a gay slang dictionary app in 2014 which includes commonly used slang in the United States from the gay community 17 Specialized dictionaries that record LGBT slang have been found to revolve heavily around sexual matters 18 Slang is ephemeral terms used in one generation may pass out of usage in another For example in the 1960s and 1970s the terms cottage chiefly British and tearoom chiefly American were used to denote public toilets used for sex By 1999 this terminology had fallen out of use to the point of being greatly unrecognizable by members of the LGBT community at large 19 Many terms that originated as gay slang have become part of the popular lexicon For example the word drag was popularized by Hubert Selby Jr in his book Last Exit to Brooklyn Drag has been traced back by the Oxford English Dictionary OED to the late 19th Century Conversely words such as banjee while well established in a subset of gay society have never made the transition to popular use Conversations between gay men have been found to use more slang and fewer commonly known terms about sexual behavior than conversations between straight men 20 In the Philippines many LGBT people speak with Swardspeak or gay lingo which is a more extensive use of slang as a form of dialect or way of speaking Other argots are spoken in southern Africa Gayle language and IsiNgqumo and Indonesia Bahasa Binan More specifically in a country like Thailand LGBT slang was always present in their history due to their religious behavioral and social nature However before the term LGBT was introduced the Thai community would use the terms Kathoey and Tom The term Kathoey was used to describe transgender women who dress act or partake in surgery to become female and the term Tom as well as handsome girls in Thai was used to describe women who liked women Homosexuality and transgenderism has always existed throughout their history as their behavioral nature did not align with heterosexual ideals 21
