I think this is more accurate a year ago. Also let's not lend queer language to them.

Is "closeted" queer language? I've never found consistent etymology or history of the word, but language is obviously driven by society. I really hope I haven't been offending my friends throwing around that word all William-Nilliam... I'm not the most tapped-in person to culture, and even then, I'm unbelievably slow to catch on.

Ya a quick read not too many other things have ever really used the language in such a consistent way.
