The one that still gets me, and mostly because in this day and age of 2026 it still doesn't get as much homophobic backlash as I feel it clearly deserves is the pejorative: cocksucker.
In my anecdotal experience, 99.55% of the time, it's leveraged against men and used as a homophobic slur.
But even so, is sucking cock really that terrible of a thing to do? The vast majority of people with a cock enjoy the service. We literally celebrate the people who do it well for us personally, in most cases.
Why is it used as a slur?
Anyway, I'm off to suck some cock, see ya'll later.
Easiest way to push their buttons. One may not care if another sucks cock, but if they’re insecure like these folks, then it is very effective.
Growing up, the worst thing you could be was a guy who liked other dudes. Being called a fag and cocksucker was just like "casual" insults, the way Australians call someone a cunt.
I kind of like when it's reclaimed. Like someone calling themselves a fag or a whore.
Because usually the bully ends up getting even more mad.
