Please keep this discussion civil. It is not to digress into a flame war over sexual preference or players will miss some shifts.

Also, filter-dodging is a violation of the TOS. Swearing does not make you cooler, more hip, or give you more street cred. Try to articulate without it, it is possible.

People are totally paranoid.� She suggested that they �come up with some code words on the down low so we can tell you what�s up without anyone knowing what we�re saying!� (They settled on �paw� for gay and �woof� for bisexual.)

As we walked past the gym, a group of boys came rushing out. Justin pointed to a short, muscular eighth grader in a baseball cap. �Paw!� he said.

Alison looked surprised. �Isn�t he a woof?�

�No, he just thinks he�s a woof,� Justin said.

Amelia looked confused. �What does woof mean again?�

A minute later, they fixed their gaze on a boy sitting against a wall listening to his iPod. �Paw,� Alison told me. �I mean woof!�

�Yeah, he�ll make out with anyone,� Justin confirmed. �Totally bisexual.�

�No, he�s not!� Amelia said, apparently distraught by the news.

�Oh, stop getting all mad just �cause you like him,� Alison told her. �Everyone knows he�s a woof.�

After pointing out a handful of girls who are �definitely woofs,� Alison turned to me and recalled a recent �lesbian moment� of hers. �I totally had the hots for this girl in �Jesus Christ Superstar,� � she said with a giggle. �I was, like, �Whoa, I�m really attracted to you right now!� �

�Jesus was hot in that, too,� Justin offered.


I remember accusing people of being gay and bisexual all the time in middle school too. I didn't actually know what those words MEANT, but boy did I throw them around at the slightest provocation.

Thanks from all the straight guys in their 20s for the weekend plan - feign homosexuality to all hot women in listening radius and clue in on the bi-sexual hotties. Could be interesting. Excellent post.

This was a fantastic read. I hope the "pretend game" soon becomes a thing of the past.


That will still take some time in Korea.


Oh, it's starting. I knew someone that taught in the boonies last year and her students claimed to be gay. They were Jr High school girls that had girlfriends ... but the relationship was just on the phone or online. Nothing sexual whatsoever, just an emotional connection and a bunch of confusion. Very normal for their age, even for Korea.
