among my transgender friends we have many code words and euphemisms. one of my favorites is 'breeder', which is the word we use to talk about straight, cisgender people, especially straight cis-men.
between my partner and i, we share many of these sorts of things too. |
You have NO idea how offensive that is to the straight community. |

I've come from the depths of inactivity hell to tell you that this does not count as creating your own language. That being said, every single group does this, and it just tends to get more dynamic in small groups (e.g. couples). In my case, my fiancée and I have gone so far down this path (having 3 languages to choose from definitely helps) that we even have a nickname both for my right AND my left nut.
Our cutest word is "naca-ioche": Though it does mean "close friend" in moonspeak (nakayoshi), it came to mean in our Portuguese "to touch our foreheads against each other"... similarly, "naca-uaro" (a faux antonym that just doesn't exist in the source language) means "to head-butt with epic rage". Yeah, she's got a bit of a temper :p |

That's a pretty old one, not so unique, I'd say. Quite a few of my gay friends use it, referring to straight couples :p |
that's true |

That's only because its hard to have the really dud ones spayed without a lot of fuss and noise.
(not really heard that one bandied around much, might be a boy-fag thing instead of a girl-fag saying) |

You might be right there, I don't ever recall hearing "girl-fags" use the term :p |

Yes, I agree, we straight guys can't help that we where born this way. |

English is not equal to first language...
I was born that way too. |

Me and my friends,..have created an ultimate ending to every adjective, name, or verb. We add the word skeet or skeets to pretty much everything.
Wanna listen to some Afroskeet?
Yo, we outskeets?
I wanna skeet her.
I am extra skeets about this.
Are you extra skeeted? |

At the bar where I worked last year we called Orange Juice "Not Guilty".
As in, I can I get a Vodka, Not Guilty?
Carton of Not Guilty for the Kitchen please.
Among my friends, we once heard some guy in Toronto trying to get a cigar from some next guy on the street (presumably, they knew each other). Anyways, he yells at the guy "Hey!! Cigar bidday!"
He had some sort of accent which made the whole scene very funny to us. Now, years later, we will shorten our questions into a word, followed by "bidday." So I might get a call from my friend that will go like this.
"Hello?"
"Club bidday?!" - Clubbing tonight, ya down?
or
"Food bidday!" - I'm hungry, lets go get some food.
or say some drama has gone down and we want to make fun of whatever dude is being emotional this week:
"Justin bidday?" - He's such a fag eh?
It's a universal word that more or less replaces the 5 W's and How. Yes, we learned later what a bidday actually is. No, we don't care :p |
