As I sit here at the library anxiously counting down the seconds before Madonna's new CD is released (already pre-ordered through Itunes of course) I started to think of her other songs, which led me to think of words which somehow developed into thinking about the words that have been used by gay men so much that I wonder how are these terms oficially defined and how they amazingly relate to the gay lifestyle. Not only are these words used on a daily basis, they are essential to all that is sacred in the gay belly of York. They include, but are not limited to the following: Top, Bottom, Versatile, Safe, Masculine, Feminine, Hung, Jock, Discreet. Gay men have perfected the art of interrogation to the point where all of these terms can be woven into one simple question....
"Stats?"
But what do some of these words really mean?*
Top-1 a (1) : the highest point, level, or part of something : SUMMIT, CROWN (2) : the head or top of the head -- used especially in the phrase top to toe (3) : the head of a plant and especially one with edible roots (4) : a garment worn on the upper body b (1) : the highest or uppermost region or part (2) : the upper end, edge, or surface
Gay meaning:
I stick it in you
Bottom-1 a : the underside of something b : a surface (as the seat of a chair) designed to support something resting on it c : the posterior end of the trunk : BUTTOCKS, RUMP
Gay Meaning:
You stick it in me
Versatile-The ability to easily turn from one position to another.
Gay Meaning:
I could stick in you today but tomorrow you got to stick it in me
Safe-Free from harm or risk
Gay Meaning:
TBD
These are just a few examples, there are others that have such a secret conotation that they have been easily summed into initials such as bb and pnp, both are which happily out of my realm of everyday life. In the pursuit of happiness, why do some preoccupy themselves more with what will be revealed in the bedroom?
