Flora
Perhaps the most famous reference of this contemptuous slang of homosexual man is that of Federico García Lorca in his "Ode to Walt Whitman" (1929) with his "Floras de Alicante". But without neglecting the traditional human relationship of flowers with the feminine and the utilise of bloom names as slang for homosexual men, such equally "Amapolo" in Castilian or "Pansy" in the English linguistic communication, it is possible that this slang had its origin in meanings and uses of the discussion flora that get dorsum, at least, to the previous century.
Flora, likewise referring to the plant world and the poetic work of a author, has also been synonymous with tender, soft, etc., and so we find it in a publication of 1868-1869 entitled "Los Borbones en Pelota" (Naked Bourbons) a satirical and pornographic piece of work signed by the pseudonym SEM and attributed, not without word, to the Bécquer brothers, in which was included a popular song that insinuated the homosexuality of the King consort Francisco Asís de Borbón that said thus:
Paquito natillas
es de pasta flora
y orina en cuclillas
como las señoras.
(Custard Paquito / is fabricated of "pasta flora"/ and squatting urine / similar the ladies).
To refer to the "pasta" that someone is made of is to refer to the type of temperament or essential character that defines that person.
In addition, in the play past Roberto Arlt "Trescientos millones" (Three Hundred 1000000) (1932), we notice a scene in which a man, to show his feelings towards a woman, speaks her of his "heart of pasta flora" and his "tender heart".
Tenderness, softness, smoothness, in general, are characteristics socially attributed to women since ancient times and that turn into insults directed against the men we would today phone call homosexuals, against those who could exist for their effeminacy or against any homo yous desire to insult highlighting his little manhood.

Before that date there was no heterosexual or homosexual, at that place were normal people on the one hand, and sinners – criminals on the other. Although the term was created with skilful intentions, in the end it was very successful in the world of medicine and psychiatry and thus began the stage of pathologizing, where homosexuality ceased to be a crime, to become a mental disease. That is why the LGBT commonage replaced information technology past the word gay, to remove the smell of electro-convulsive hospital.

Even so, indeed, it is as well used by those involved to proper name themselves, post-obit this world move reappropriation of insults. The origin of this expression is not articulate at the moment, but there are several theories among which the following stand out.
· On one hand, some say it comes from "Sota" a figure of Spanish deck of cards because someone sees in the illustration effeminate attributes.
· Others say that "Joto" is the breastfed infant caprine animal and might be related to blowjobs.

· And the most surprising theory is that "Joto" would come from the Aragonese Jota (famous Spanish dance and song) through the semantic leap dance – woman – homosexual.
The only thing we know for sure is that the first reference of the give-and-take Joto is found in an commodity by the Colombian Federico Aguilar, dated in 1883, which lists a number of used terms in Puebla and the central states of United mexican states, in which "Joto" is defined as "maricón" (faggot). This places the appearance of the term 7 years before the construction of the prison of Lecumberri (1900), therefore the theory of the origin of this slang that relates information technology to the Jota department of the Lecumberri prison, besides equally its human relationship with the "Baile de los 41" (1901), loses all validity.
Over time, in Moscas de Colores we have developed a certain sense for separate the wheat from the crust, however with "Joto" although we take no doubt to rebut the myth of the jota section of the prison house, the rest of the theories seems featherbrained explanations. We will see in the future, where words will atomic number 82 us.

The showtime comes from the 15th century in which Marica was slang of like shooting fish in a barrel or libidinous woman, this is tart, floozy or prostitute. The relationship established between male homosexuality and prostitution as well occurs in other languages, such as English, in which many terms like "gay" or "faggot" earlier used to insult gay men were used to insult women or refer prostitutes.

Maricón
The give-and-take Maricón is augmentative of Marica, which is also a kind of magpie.
We could translate the Spanish word Maricón into the English language term faggot. Information technology is an expression that appeared in the 16th century, and it seems to refer more to the homosexual man with an mental attitude and masculine appearance, although throughout the centuries, its awarding has been changing. Beingness augmentative for Marica, the negative connotation is college than in the terms Marica and Mariquita, a fact that draws attention due to the profound contempt for femininity that existed at the time, as we have already explained in this dictionary in the entry Marica.
It was non just used against homosexual men merely as well used every bit an insult for men who did non exercise domination and violence confronting women and to insult any man. Despite the manly nuance of the term, the Maricón became popular by becoming an archetype of the theater of the Spanish Golden Historic period, being the mannered and feminine aesthetics grapheme to tease of, and to have fun at his expense and with which, therefore, should exist avoided any comparing. For this reason, often appear in expressions like "te van a tomar por maricón" (they will see you as faggot).
Since the Spanish dictatorship Maricón besides was used, to a greater extent, to refer to homosexual men with masculine attitude, and this greater invisibility was precisely that makes the Maricón had less social acceptance that the Mariquita, more feminine, with whom make fun (including sex) and therefore less dangerous.

Mayate
We dear the Practise not kill the mayate! Please, delight!
Picture by CC News
Mayate is a term that has its origin in the word mayatl, from the Mexican Nahuatl language, used to denominate a beetle. People besides use it to insult homosexual men, although more specifically, to proper name those men who define themselves as heterosexual, but who accept sex activity with men. Mayate would be the equivalent of the Peruvian Mostacero and the Colombian Cucarrón. In both cases, the exclusively top role of these men in anal intercourse is highlighted by the remainder of the feces that the penis tin can show after anal sexual practice.
In Mayate, the relationship with feces may be that the larvae of this beetle feed on other animal feces, as is the instance with the term Cucarrón, which is a beetle that is dedicated to send assurance of excrement from side to side to feed himself. There are those who affirm that the relationship with the beetle is that it makes perforations (penetrations) in the cornfields, even that it has to do with the bright colors of the insect in relation to the bright and strident colors of homosexual men, a relationship that we discard since this slang is conspicuously used to refer to masculine men.
The first written reference nosotros take found of the word mayate related to homosexuality is found in 1904 in a text by Carlos Roumagnac "Criminals in Mexico: essay of criminal psychology" which talks virtually mayates and horses as slang expressions of the prison surroundings, existence Mayate the men who perform the elevation role and the horses the men who played the lesser role. Bearing in mind the ability of "heterosexual" men to have sex with other men in the absence of women, we detect in this origin the markedly masculine and superlative role of the word mayate that has come present.
It should be noted that in the Pachuco's Caló jargon, young people of Mexican origin residing in the southern United States, mayate is used to disparagingly refer to African-American men. Another significant we have institute of the slang mayate is that of a drunk. And you only need to stroll nigh Twitter to realize that today, Mayate, Chacal, and Mostacero are anyone.

The term pederast is recovered in the 19th century such as shown in the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language (DRAE) from 1899 with the pregnant of "who commits sexual abuse confronting children". In this manner, the nuances that separate Greek pederasty and platonic love of crime and corruption, are eliminated. Popularly, homosexuality with Greek pederasty is related, and then too, in this 1899 edition, the DRAE includes sodomite (who commits sodomy) as meaning of pederast, and defines sodomy as "concúbito between same sex, or against the natural society", to add in 2001 "practice of anal intercourse ". In this way the criminalization of homosexual was reinforced, because co-ordinate to the dictionary, a pederast is a sodomite and sodomite is a homosexual. Fortunately, the 23th edition of the DRAE no longer sets with their definitions the link between the criminal pederast and homosexual man, important issue if nosotros consider that in many countries the word pederast, whatever variant and whatever word that sounds phonetically like, are used to insult and criminalize homosexual men.

All the same, every bit we explained in our blog commodity "Word of God", the word sodomita was changing it meaning with the successive and biased translations of the Bible.
Offset, the give-and-take sodomita was used to condemn whatever sexual practice that had no reproductive purposes, but with successive translations of the Bible, finally used to condemn only anal sexual practice betwixt men. However, in the beginning, the word sodomita was not used primarily to describe the person but was used to a greater extent to condemn their deportment, ie sodomy, which in many texts also included sex with animals.
The showtime reference of the word sodomita appears in 1254 on a text by Alfonso X entitled "Judizios de las estrellas" and besides appears in some regional code of laws of the 14th century, past its condition of beingness an insult that must to be avoided, with its variations like "sodomético", "sodómico", "sodomista", "sodomítico", "sodomitoso", "solomico" and "somético".

Thus the DRAE, in 1739, defines sodomy as "concúbito between persons of the same sex or improper glass" and in 1854, "against the natural order."
In the 19th century, the Napoleonic Code decriminalizes sodomy to understand information technology every bit a private only repulsive human action, and this legal alter has resulted in the inclusion in the DRAE in 1884 as a definition of sodomita "native of the metropolis of Sodom; belonging to the city of Palestine".

Trolo
Trolo is a slang term created in Argentine republic which is used to insult gays. Its nearly likely origin is the masculinization of the slang trola, term used to insult "easy women" and also to refer to prostitutes. This is the same process used by words such as puto and gay, whose origin as slang for homosexual men is in the prostitution of women. This would exist the most bones caption because an Argentinian author told us that people don't use trolo in itself. In order for it to be insulting, it must be used along with some complement such as trolo de mierda.
At present we are going to talk about which is non the origin of trolo, despite it being the about widespread version on the web (fifty-fifty in Instituto Cervantes). According to this version, trolo would have its origin in the trolleybus, a means of urban transportation inaugurated in Argentina in 1913. Why? Because the people accessed the trolley bus from backside, in a articulate reference to anal intercourse. The investigation of this slang is not finished nonetheless because we demand dates and references. However, intuition tells us that this origin is one more of the simplistic and morbid explanations given to words refering to gay and lesbian people, the clearest example of this being the word tortillera.
