Growing Gayspeak

by Reign Loleng

Recently, a friend forwarded a text message which supposedly lists the latest additions to the “Badingtionary.” I, almost automatically, forwarded the message to everyone on my list – I dream of a world that accepts baklese as a formal language, demmet!

I am amazed at how the Pinoy gay lingo evolves. I observed that the language is almost 80% dependent on current events and pop culture so a revision is required every six months – at least.

But anyway, here are some of the words that our people recently concocted:



A
Aglipay – ugly kept man/woman of a foreigner, “ugly Pinoy, ugly Pinay”
Anjanette – “I’m coming!”

B
Barclay – Baclaran
Bethlehem – testicles

C
Cadillac – to walk
Chemistry – to joke, BS, kiyeme. So the one how jokes is a Chemist and the joke is Chemical.

D
Daisy Farm – Philippine Women’s University & J. Nakpil St., a place to pick-up teenage boys as in daisy-sais, daisy siyete…
Difficult – poverty-stricken

E
Eclipse – to sleep
Exhaust fan – a stupid person

F
Flat shoes na may takong – yes

G
Galema – traitor

H
Hagedorn – tired

J
Jason Pamintuan – straight-acting gay (this one got me laughing because all the Jason I know is gay.)

K
King Kong Barbie – effeminate muscular gay man

L
Lotlot and friends – losers of a contest, especially beauty pageants

M
Moon Crystal Power – beautiful only at night (Sailormoon truly is a gay icon.)

N
Narcisa – nurse

P
Pa-essence – “let me taste” (so pa-experience is obsolete?)
Peninsula – penis

S
Standard – old gay man (so institution is obsolete?)
Success Story – ugly gay man who hooked up with really hot guy (I think this is a matter of perspective, one man’s success story is another man’s mercy fuck.)

T
Trixie – tricycle

V
Voltron – ugly muscular gay man, “baklang maton”

Y
Yema – icky residue after anal intercourse (why?)

If you know any new gay words, please let me know. E-mail me @ reignloleng@gmail.com. Seriously, I’m collecting them.
