The Wikipedia has a list of slang terms relating to the bear community:
· Cub – a younger (or younger looking) version of a bear, typically but not always with a smaller frame. The term is sometimes used to imply the passive partner in a relationship. Can be hairy or hairless.
· Goldilocks – a female, often heterosexual, who is often in the company of bears (a bear's fag hag).
· Otter – a man who is hairy, but is not large or stocky – typically thinner, swimmer's build, or with lean muscle or no muscle.
· Panda bear – a bear of Asian descent.
· Pocket bear – a short bear.
· Polar bear – a silver- or white-haired bear.
· Wolf – a term for a muscle bear who is a rugged outdoorsy or biker type.
· Woof – a greeting used to express physical attraction (sometimes when a bear sees another bear in public).
I have not never known the significance of these slang terms but I definitely like the Goldilocks, Polar and Pocket bear terms.
And now I am going through a phase to accept myself as OTTER :)
Nice List, descriptions make enough sense to be true.
ReplyDeleteGood Post.
After reading that I have to accept that I am also an otter.
ReplyDeleteGoldilocks and Pocket Bear are great and I am definitely going to find a way to get them into a sentence!
Thank you for sharing those definitions
wolf really. I guess no one saw that episode of Ray Donovan.
