Guest Guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 AJ - I think it started when gays did not want others to know they are talking about gay people, so pig latin was used. But when we use pig latin on the word 'gay', it becomes aygay, which still sounded too obvious...so it was ajay instead.Maybe I'm wrong, but I remembered that was how it was explained to me years ago.

HendryTan Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Dug out this very old BlowingWind post that answers this question of meaning of AJ.Check the original BW post at http://www.blowingwind.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=188&view=findpost&p=933Nobody seems to be able to explain to me what AJ stands for except it means gay. From wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_gay_terminologyAy-jay or A-jay - Pig Latinised form of gay, with the guttural 'g' converted to a 'j' to further disguise its form. Coined by English-educated schoolboys from some of the better schools in the 1990s.A.J. - a popular term probably a derivation from Pig Latin. Mainly used about the Chinese/locally educated community as well as prevalent amongst the younger generation. The term is often used as code, in situations where the speakers wish not to allow outsiders to understand the conversation. Example: 'Is he AJ or straight?', 'My classmate is also AJ.'Not clear, go read that old BW thread, several further there elaborate further : http://www.blowingwind.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=188&view=findpost&p=933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetstream Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 It's pig latin as far as I remember. Any word in the english can be converted to pig latin; this is how it works:- 1. shift the first letter of any word to the end - eg boy --> oyb2. next, add "ay" at the end. "boy" becomes "oybay"; "boy-friend" becomes "oybay-riendfay".And if you want to talk about your boyfriend in public - eg. my boyfriend is cute, you would say: my oybayriendfay is utecay.Straight pple don't understand pig-latin, hence it's used among gay pple when the subject is not intended for straight consumption. nvms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just playing pig latin for gay should sound like ay-gay... which totally defeats the who point of hiding the word sound in pig latin in the first place.

thad Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) yep, it is called pig latin.like in boy: you bring the last 2 letters in front, and add 'ay' to the end of the word...eg: boy = oybaygay = aygay (but pronounce as 'aj' so as not to have the 'gay' sound at the end).

Guest Gust Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Compared to last time, nowadays I find most ppl just say they are gay rather than AJ, a sign of the open-minded mindset of the young I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
