Fruit flies

Apr 19, 2008 10:42

I just learned that the term "fruit fly" could be a nicer way to say "fag hag", as in a woman who socializes predominantly with gay men.  I am so amused.  I always knew I was annoying, but I never thought that I needed an insect metaphor to go along with it.  :-P

You're so cute Jenny! You make me smile. ♥♥♥

Andria points out that the good thing about this term is that it's gender-neutral. I think it's nicer than fag hag, despite pest connotations.

"Ribbon clerk" is another one...I am so amused by this!

On another note: in my Stonehill experience, the fruit flies were the gay men themselves NOT me. THEY FOUND ME, damnit!

You make me smile, too. Hi, Andria. :)

yo!

i guess it can work both ways but it seems better for the girls. to me it works for the gays if they are part of a diva's posse.

the other day (ie like last month)i was trying to figure out what to call male fag hags cause alas they dont seem to have a term.

what i came up with?
glad lads. ^___^
