12. Let's Have a Kiki with Queer as Fact!

Welcome to our very first extra special collaboration! Joining
Leigh and Gretchen this episode are our friends over at Queer as
Fact, a queer history podcast from Australia. Our topic of
choice? Queer slang! Join us as we discuss lavender linguistics,
the history of queer slang in Australian penal colonies, and our
favorite slang words, both American and Australian! So brush off
your oysters, pitch your tents for camp, sharpen up your Gillette
blades, and let’s have a kiki with Queer as Fact!
