I remember a lesbian explaining to me that word back
in 1992.

May I suggest that anal sexuality is not the
prerogative of gays ?

Or if I misunderstood the meaning, is there a [[list
of offensive terms for homosexuals]] where this one
could be better explained to non-english speakers ? 

-------------

Incidently, I appreciated the numerous answers to my
question about "retard". I understand the "politically
correct" side of it. However, I would say that the
adjective (or the noun) first applied to its user; and
if a user choose to carry a (to some) pejorative user
name, I would tend to think it is mostly his problem.
But I understand some may be bothered.
