Wikipedia is so awesome.

Article: Fag Hag

This is what it has to say:

A fag hag is a slang term for a woman who either associates mostly or exclusively with homosexual men, or is best or good friends to a gay man or men. It originated in gay male culture in the United States and was historically an insult.[1] Some women who associate with gay men object to being called fag hags,[2] while others embrace the term.[3][4] The male counterpart, men who have similar interpersonal relationships with lesbian women, are called dyke tykes[citation needed]; furthermore people who associate with gays, lesbians, and bisexuals may be called fruit flies[citation needed] regardless of their sex.


LOL. I'm totally a fag hag, but I've NEVER heard "dyke tyke" or "fruit flies" before. HILARIOUS!

Threis nothing wrong with being a fruit fly. We do tend to breed at an alarming rate though....

This was the word term of the day on Urbandictionary a while back. Amusing, but I thought it was "fake slang" like most of UD's content.

Can't see why the term was ever invented, either, especially so if the article's notion that the term came from the gay community is true. But *shrug*
