Why is 24 gay? 🤨

And isn't "anos" actually "anus?" Años is "years old." If it's different in Portugese, that is one hell of a coincidence. lol

Anos in portuguese means years, while ânus means anus. Portuguese doesn't have a tilde over the n, only vowels can have accents in portuguese.

And 24 has a gay connotation due a false homonym in a Brazilian illegal betting game named "bicho" (animal), the number 24 belongs to a "veado" (deer), which sounds like "viado".

The word "viado" is a gay slur originating from the word "transviado" (literally means straying from a path), and the original word isn't as popular, though.

24 is "vinte e quatro" and it sounds similar to "vim de quatro" which can be interpreted as "I came on all 4s"

That sounds hot.

It's because of jogo do bicho but I like your headcanon better.
