The Scrotum Puzzle
By: Blanche Poubelle
| |
Latin words are often paired in English with Anglo-Saxon counterparts, which are
considered vulgar. So feces, anus, and
vagina are Latin; shit, asshole, and
cunt are Anglo-Saxon. We copulate in Latin, but we
fuck in Anglo-Saxon. |

Faggots and Fennel
By: Blanche Poubelle
| |
Though
finocchio and "faggot" probably don't actually reflect a
medieval history of death-by-burning, they do both derive from pejorative comparisons to worthless, cheap, or undervalued things like bundles of sticks or seeds. Fortunately, etymology is
our servant and not our master. Many groups now proudly use labels that originated as pejoratives-- Methodists and Quakers, for example. |

Pushing the Cork
By: Blanche Poubelle
| |
So which of these meanings is the origin of tapette
as "homosexual"? Mousetrap? Flyswatter? Rugbeater? Cork pusher? Printers' tool? Tongue? Ballgame? With enough imagination, it is probably possible to come up with
some story to connect each of these to homosexuality. |

'Homophile' or 'homosexual'?
By: Blanche Poubelle
| |
Homosexual is a less comfortable word, but it has the virtue of keeping the sex in homosexuality. A movement based on the liberty to engage in homosexual acts seeks allies among other people with minority sexual
tastes-- such as sadomasochists, straight swingers, or cross-dressers. |
