Not for a long time have we had a list of known weird euphemisms for being gay.

I would quite like to make a collection! Not the hostile ones like "Fidge Packer", but the fun ones

So, to start:

  • Uphill Gardener
  • Diner at the Downstairs Restaurant
  • One who 'Bowls from the Pavilion End'
  • A 'Batter for the other Side'
  • One who 'Puts from the Rough'


Who is ready with some more?

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.
