He probably asked her what a lesbian is. I've not heard the word 'bian before, mostly the term used is lezzie or lezzer. There's even a website for them called Lezza. I like the ghetto spelling.SandChigger wrote:Heather's on Facebook. Their surname makes me wonder if there isn't an ex-husband in the mix somewhere. You know the story, married woman facing middle-age, gets fed up with and throws off the yoke of male authority, gets back in touch with her powerful femininity (or at the very least starts touching herself there) and finds a younger 'bian lover.
See it all the time. What would be interesting to know (and yes, this is pure, unadulterated voyeurism) is how Papa BoBo handled it. Did he again try to "play Frank Herbert" and react the way FH did to Bruce's homosexuality? Or was he the kinder, gentler, more-understanding-of-diversity wimp he appears to be? (My vote!)
Rezu! Isn't there a native Japanese word for a lez?SandChigger wrote:Bian is what one of my friends calls them in Japanese. Fresher and less offensive to the ear than rezu.
Urban myth, I believe. But nice reference, anyway.SandChigger wrote:Maybe it was like Victorian England and female homosexuality didn't exist.
No, you'll have to give me a clue.SandChigger wrote:Really? Oh well. I've been trying to remember where I heard/read that....
Anyway, I did remember something and confirmed it with a friend.
Gay men (especially effeminate, cross-dressing ones) are sometimes referred to as o-kama, originally a term for a "rice cooker" (as in the somewhat obsolete denki-gama "electric rice cooker"). I don't know how or where this cookware terminology originated, but there is a corresponding term for lesbians: o-nabe, or "pots". You don't hear it as often, so it took me a while to think of it.
Something that has always amused me is the term o-koge, which is the burnt rice stuck to the bottom of the cooker you sometime got with the traditional stove-top or early electric versions. Can anyone guess what group of people it's used to refer to?
The story goes, Queen Victoria found it inconcievable "women don't do that sort of thing", therefore male homosexuality was made illegal, but female homosexuality wasn't made illegal.SandChigger wrote:None that I've ever come across.
There's a whole book of native words dealing with male homosexuality, though.
Maybe it was like Victorian England and female homosexuality didn't exist.
No, but really, you make to easy.lesbianism was left untouched.
Yep, that's the same story I read somewhere. Urbane legend, huh? Oh well.big_D wrote:The story goes, Queen Victoria found it inconcievable "women don't do that sort of thing", therefore male homosexuality was made illegal, but female homosexuality wasn't made illegal.

A man having anal sex with his wife is a "myth," not a "crime."chanilover wrote:Sodomy was a crime even for heteros, and until recently a man who had anal sex with his wife in private was committing a crime, as the Sex Offences Act had only decriminalised sodomy between two men in private.
That's not true, it sometimes happens "accidentally".Baraka Bryan wrote:Omphalos wrote:A man having anal sex with his wife is a "myth," not a "crime."chanilover wrote:Sodomy was a crime even for heteros, and until recently a man who had anal sex with his wife in private was committing a crime, as the Sex Offences Act had only decriminalised sodomy between two men in private.
