You an Aussie? Have not heard that term used except for my Aussie friends.
Krauts also use the term “Poofter”.
No, although I do know that term originated in Britain.
It became more popular in The States soon after Ann Coulter did NOT call John Edwards a faggot.
And for the record, I have NEVER referred to John Edwards as a poofter. I may have said I would not refer to him as a poofter because if I did I may have to go to rehab, but no more than that...
(my thanks to Ann Coulter)
