So next time you are about to hit that party, beat that face to perfection!ħ) No, this one has nothing to do with telling time. But now that you do, let’s have a kiki, shall we?Ħ) This one is anything but violent! Beating refers to applying just the right amount of make-up and looking flawless. Yes, you’ve been kiki-ing all this while and didn’t even know it. Kiki refers to a gathering of friends to kick back, relax and gossip. Fun, no?ĥ) Don’t confuse this with the Punjabi folk dance of Kikli. It’s when you make a sly remark about someone with no one else catching the insult except who it was directed towards. How fun is that?Ĥ) This is a blanket term for being bitchy. Stop trying to heteronormalize the gays!ģ) This one is my personal favorite! Tea is another word for gossip, so phrases like “sipping the tea” or “spilling the tea” all refer to gossip. There are many variations in between (because sex isn’t one dimensional, people!) And oh, the one who Tops is not the man in the relationship and the one who Bottoms isn’t the lady of the house. Simply put, the one “who puts it in” is referred to as Top, the one who “takes it” is Bottom and those who “like it, both ways” are called Versatile. That’s what makes it special!Ģ) These are nothing more than roles in bed. Why so many identities? Because not everything is black and white, and the rainbow has one too many colors. LGBTQIA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans (gender or sexual), Queer (also sometimes questioning), Intersex and Asexual. And neither should you!ġ) This may not be slang but you gotta start somewhere and this is it. After all, language has no orientation and doesn’t discriminate. Some of these terms and phrases are so much fun that we see no reason why all of us can’t use them.
And in the spirit of pride and to celebrate equality, we thought we’d give you a crash course on gay slang that is part of the popular LGBTQIA culture. Known for their colorful rainbow flag that reflects the diversity of the community, LGBTQIA folks have a vocab that is just as colorful. What about “throwing shade”? Is it when you hold an umbrella for a loved one on a sunny day? Wrong again! These are popular phrases among the LGBTQIA community and have an altogether different interpretation from what their literal meaning is.
Do you know what “spilling the tea” is? No, it’s not when your maid accidentally spills tea (and your heart breaks).
