minus-squaretwelve20two @slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoToday I learned a color, that its etymology is tied to pigeons, and that it’s also used (in certain contexts) to mean ideal as well as a slang term for gay (possibly as a pejorative?)
minus-squareuis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-27 months ago. . . Kinda, but I was talking only about color. Also it’s not perjorative. Perjorative version is гей which is transliteration of gay. Also сизый is color too. And сизый голубь is common pigeon.
Hey! This even has голубой!
