Talk:wide receiver


 * 1)  The one who plays the female role in a male-on-male homosexual relationship.
 * 2) * 2001, George Alexander, Houston Press, “Play Ball!” :
 * To fine-tune the comparison a bit further, sports bars are closer in spirit to the type of gay bar known to habitués as a wrinkle bar. There, paunchy, pasty, out-of-shape guys go to drink and watch really buff guys on the TV screens. Sure, in a sports bar, TV is always understood to signify "television" rather than "transvestite," and the terms "tight end" and "wide receiver" conjure up different mental images in each place.
 * 1) * 2003, Justin Taylor (Randy Harrison), Queer As Folk: Episode 102:
 * I started out as a tight end and ended up a wide receiver.
 * 1) * 2005, David Deutsch, Joshua Neuman, The Big Book of Jewish Conspiracies, page 106:
 * This is all the more remarkable, considering how blatantly gay the positions were, such as “tight end,” “wide receiver,” and “between the thighs ball-grabber,” although changing the last to “quarterback” may have helped.
 * 1) * 2006, Joel Tan, Inside Him: New Gay Erotica, Carroll & Graf Publishers, ISBN 078671722X:
 * In football lingua: He was my wide receiver, and I, his tight end.

Rfv-sense: (vulgar slang) The one who plays the female role in a male-on-male homosexual relationship.&mdash;msh210 &#x2120; 22:40, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * It's somewhat popular jocular slang in that sense, printed on T-shirts, etc. Do T-shirts count as citations?  Rod (A. Smith) 22:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * As long as you can point to a webpage which sells them (with the term in clear view), then I’d say they should. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 12:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * http://www.cafepress.com/prideinart.29295483 shows the quote on a T-shirt, but it seems that the T-shirt quote came from a Queer as Folk episode, so I cited the original instead, along with other examples. Rod (A. Smith) 18:28, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Now there are four citations; but (meaning no offense) I'm not sure they're good. The first is a mention. (The second seems okay.) The third (although I can't see the context) seems to be discussing football (and may be a mention anyway). The fourth uses the term as a pun: the speaker seems to be (re)inventing the term on the spot.&mdash;msh210 &#x2120; 22:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, it is well understood jocular slang in gay bars, in this courtroom, and among those who see these products, but I cannot find any additional book hits to support it. It would be weird for this to go and wintard: to stay, but I don't care enough to add non-durable citations.  Rod (A. Smith) 23:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * This one is really close, but the provided cites aren't quite enough based on the above discussion. Two more good cites would be enough to put this back in. -  01:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
