List of terms for gay in different languages:
This is a list of terms which are widely used today to refer to “gay” in different languages and which derive from concepts unrelated to homosexuality (e.g. the words “gay” or “pederast”) or its common stereotypes. Their original meanings are also given.
My favorite is the Italian, frocio: “old term for the Swiss Pope guards in Rome.” LINK!
