"Rough Trade"!! That's my favorite phrase these days! What's your's?
I started saying this ever since my trip to Vegas, and Lord, that city is just running over with Rough Trade. Don't know why I never noticed this before on previous trips!

What's your favorite phrase/saying that you're using a lot these days?

5. From what I know ...
Rough Trade is a "tough, straight-acting" guy who is gay or bi.

6. Thanks!
I've wondered that since the 80s, but never knew how to find out!

7. My understanding is that it's straight guys who will do "anything" with
another guy, but for a cost. They're usually good looking, but in a sleazy sort of way. You know, good-looking, but from the wrong side of the tracks, so you'll never mistake them for pretty!

9. Sorta conjures up a certain type, don't you think?
Started using this phrase after seeing this guy at The Rio--one of the Chippendales Dancers, who was drop-dead gorgeous, but when I passed him and tried not to stare, his antenna went up and he knew damn well I was looking at him, and glanced my way. And he smiled, and his teeth weren't great, and it changed his look completely. I mean, he was still good-looking, but it really wasa sleazy, knowing sort of good looks.

I think I need to win the Lottery!
