Hey Pandas, Post A Design Fail You Have Found (Closed)

Since you asked. “Poof” and “poofter” have been used as insulting terms for homosexual men since the early 20th century https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poofter

Hm, seems like it's not in use anymore as I've never heard of this, but thanks for the info, JB! I'd still find it cute regardless if someone called me that, have it backfire on them lmao

Its still common in the UK but a bit of a silly insult like ‘pansy’ i actually like pansies i plant black ones in spring in my little goth garden 😅

I love pansies! They are a fun flower to grow and there are so many

I wasn’t actually insulted it was funny and my family found it hilarious 😅 i agree ‘poof’ is the least offensive thing i get called it sounds cute and fluffy

"Poof" was most definitely an insult for gay men until some years ago really. Unlike "Queer" which has been reclaimed. Pjs that say Merry Christmas Poof are certainly different!! I'm LGBT+ myself, find this hilarious after my initial intake of breath! Mind it's very pleasing to learn another derogatory term is no longer really in use so Yay 😊
