Not me, but a friend. We were at an LGBTQ+ friendly ice cream shop in Seattle trying to figure out what to order, so he's trying samples. Out of nowhere he says "man, this ice cream is so good! It's like you have a bunch of fairies working back there" and he clueless licks the spoon as most of the room stares at him in disbelief "or elves or something! Something magical at least. Can I try the lavender?"
Oh my god I love this
I did not understand. Can someone elucidate me?
Fairy is an antiquated derogatory term for an effeminate gay man. My friend meant to say the ice cream tasted magical, but it came out as a homophobic slur, until he finished his thought.
