'''list includes lujvo made from slang gismu''' ;__''lezbo''__ lesbian: x1 is a lesbian [[na'e mabla] [[[And]] ;__''lezge''__ homosexual: x1 is homosexual [[na'e mabla] [[[And]] ;__''pufke''__ poof: x1 is a poof, homosexual man [[na'e mabla] [[[And]] ;__''tolpufke''__ heterosexual: x1 is heterosexual [[na'e mabla] [[[And]] ;__''tilju''__ x1 is a pedant [[Adjective: pedantic] (This was made by shortening the lujvo ''tilju'edu'u'', which is perhaps the most 'proper' word for this concept) ---- As with all these (to my mind treasonous :-) ) proposals, could you please indicate who the proposer is, and whether they have seen any use in text? Same request has been made for experimental cmavo -- nitcion PS. I'd add ''norlezge'' for bi (or transsexual), but I don't want to actually encourage this stuff... ('slang gismu', that is; not bisexuality!) How come ''pufke'' is ''na'e mabla''? At least the English keyword sounds mabla-ish to me. Similarly, if you want an uncontroversial term for "heterosexual man," stick with ''tolylezge'' (after all, ''tolpufke'' doesn't make sense for women either). All of this presumably treats sexual preference, not "manliness," machismo, effeminateness, butch-ness, etc (if so, again, ''pufke'' doesn't belong). All in all, I, too, am not really impressed by these ''--mi'e mark.'' *Hopefully ''pufke'' being na'e mabla will help demablatize the English word ''poof'' to you, then. And yes, they treat sexual preference, not manliness, effeminacy, etc. ((And)) (& btw, Mark, I think ((terki)) is ace.) __Thanks (I always need reassurance)! Maybe it should grow into its own page at some point though. --mark__
