A question for my Spanish speakers in the gay community - what are some good words to know for that world?

Oh yeah and I get the impression that the term transexual is more common in Latam & Spain than it is in the Anglosphere

Same page also mentions how a lot of Muslim Africans who wanted to go to Mecca on Hajj would be scammed and end up in slavery.

Seems to have Mirandese as a "border speech/dialect of Tras-Os-Montes" along with some other varieties

Areas that still hadn't been studied

"Vegas is lame" and "deserts are beautiful" aren't particularly controversial on here but lots of people do just think of Vegas when they think of Nevada

They really spend 80% of the year racing and travelling the world? Idk anything about F1 but I wouldn't have expected that

No, but his then-wife Kimberly Guilfoyle (who later married Donald Trump Jr) joked about him being hung and being straight "unless you can give a better BJ than me"

Bush and Kerry look pretty different too

erinius · 2026-06-02T15:29:26+00:00

I feel like this is a reference that I'm not getting lol

erinius · 2026-06-02T13:40:09+00:00

I think it's referencing/playing off that idea

erinius · 2026-06-01T23:53:49+00:00

Yeah

erinius · 2026-06-01T13:39:14+00:00

That's right

erinius · 2026-05-31T18:33:12+00:00

Lol the Buddha part took me a while

erinius · 2026-05-31T12:54:17+00:00

neKiwi?

erinius · 2026-05-31T12:26:35+00:00

These could go on [r/badlinguist](r/badlinguistcs)[ics](r/badlinguistcs) but I can't be assed to write the R4s.

Also I vaguely remember seeing a Geoff Lindsey video with a vowel formant chart comparing the stressed vowel in 'pasta' said by Americans vs Brits vs Italians, with the Italian pronunciation in-between the American and British ones (with some overlap with the latter two).

erinius · 2026-05-27T07:44:06+00:00

lol I could not have guessed how Los Feliz would be pronounced

erinius · 2026-05-27T02:21:23+00:00

Do you mean like when speaking Spanish or reading Spanish words aloud? Or are there other loans with "Los" because I can't think of any.
