Q: Can I use "lardy-dardy" to describe a man's gay lisp and gesture?

If this is not OK, I have three more questions. How can I ever use lardy-dardy? Which word should I be using instead? Is there a new generation of buzzwords to use?

tchrist

Please don’t feed the troll.

Mitch

I have never heard 'lardy-dardy' used at all -ever-

oh..edwin?

is it supposed to be 'lah-de-dah'?

tchrist

Do gay men have lisps — and if so, are they full of lard?

@Mitch Who can judge what a lisping arrhotic might say? I can never figure out what they’re talking about.

Mitch

I suppose -some- do. Lard...well that's just a myth.

As far as I’m concerned, r-dropping is just another speech impediment, a kind of lisp but at the back of the mouth instead of the front.

Mitch

like r -> w too. So English!

tchrist

It’s 14 fricking degrees out. So very ick.

@Mitch Onwy Jonathan Woss.

Mitch
