tues., 23 mar., 2021: greek to thee & me?, i.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

 [NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & total & entire point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

GREEK:   πούστης... — Poústis...  ‡‡

      

‡)  Queer...”  /  Gay...”  /  “Faggoty”

NOTE: Probably pejorative even among the LGBTQ/NB community.  Very old school,  & may be used ironically,  but only amongst fellow travelers.
