The A-Z of LGBT lingo

I came out at school when I was 14, which did nothing to help the girls schools are full of lesbians stereotype. I guess as a baby bisexual I tried a little too hard to embrace everything I could about the LGBT community, and walked around spouting slang I learned off The L Word. I was ignorant but you don’t have to be. This handy LGBT guide will help you distinguish your bears from your otters and to understand that a vagitarian doesn’t mean you think meat is murder.

A – Abyss: an overused asshole – “it was like looking into the abyss”

B – Bear: older male, usually on the bigger an hairier side of life

C – Clam slammed: the same as cock-blocking but specifically for lesbians

D – Dusted: being polished and looking good, opposite to being busted

E – (brown) Eye: the asshole -but you really hope it isn’t brown

Draw your own conclusions…

F- Fishy: contentious drag term, means to be very feminine to the point of seeming like a biological woman
