GO RAIN! Rah Rah!
Lesson #1: In Standard Spoken Faggish (because there is no WRITTEN form, standard or otherwise), the expression "rah, rah" is pejorative. It is also a noun.
Examples: "Guhrl...she cackled so fiuhzly she doned gived me da rah rahs!" or "Last night I got yakked by this oyse banjee trade til it gave my amyugs da rah-rahs!" An African American would use "amyugahs" in that sentence instead of "amyugs". The word is a pig latinized form of the Faggish word "yams"...a common word for arse, ass, butt, behind, butthole...you get the picture. Note that there is always a "uh" in the middle of the word "guhrl", lest it be confused with the real thing.
To give someone the rah-rahs is to give them the blues or to hurt them (usually unintentionally). Or even, to annoy. Like what the queens did to me when I first came out of the closet and discovered that NYC fags had not one, but TWO forms of gay slang and both of those had subtle racial varieties. It wasn't until a few years later when I watched "The Boys in The Band" that I realized that this form of speech had been developing for a long time. Later on, my own research led me to this little nugget:
It is quite common for gays in the U.S. to use the term "queen" when referring to one another. It's even common in other English-speaking countries. But that word is not the same word as the one used for Elizabeth II. Although the word that today means monarch and the one that gays use for each other are both indeed derived from a common Old English word that originally meant "woman". This word diverged into two strains...the king's woman or "queen" and the other, spelt "quean", was used for a harlot, a prostitute, a woman of ill repute. THIS is the word that has been passed down since the days of the Venerable Bede to the present as the common gay "queen".
I shan't give you the rah-rahs any longer. That concludes your first lesson in NYC Faggish. Class dismissed.
