Words have power. When a homophobe at our local club referred to us as "the fucking poofters," it sparked a deep dive into the language of homosexuality – past, present, and evolving. What terms were once slurs but have been reclaimed? What words should never be uttered? And how does context change everything?

We journey through fascinating gay terminology from across the decades, uncovering forgotten gems like "Doric Love" (1920s term for gay relationships) and "fag stag" (the rare straight man who enjoys hanging with gay men). From "fairy" originally describing promiscuous women in the 1890s to "egg" describing someone pre-transgender realisation in the 2020s, we explore how language adapts to our expanding understanding of gender and sexuality.

Dave's Letter of the Day takes us through sexual terms beginning with F, from fellatio to face-sitting, leading to hilariously candid discussions about our own preferences and experiences. Then we tackle a sensitive listener conundrum: should our underwear model friend use a penis pouch to appear larger after a designer suggested it? We address body image concerns and the problematic nature of being asked to "enhance" what's already perfectly adequate.

This episode combines history, humour, and heartfelt advice – reminding us that while words can wound, they can also empower, educate, and bring us closer together as a community.
