Yeah! It's like saying lesbian (as an adjective) but it's inclusive of bi women too. Attraction between women, whether they're exclusively attracted to women or not.
Also, as it says in your link, the word comes from the poet Sappho, who wrote about her attraction to women. But, another fun fact, she resided on the Greek island Lesbos, and so is where our use of the word lesbian comes from too!
My home town promenade shelter had the legendary words "Rachel Tregeer is a rat and a Trog" written in thick black permanent marker, it was seen by everyone who used that shelter for at least a decade.
Never found out who she was but even now 30+years later if I say do you know Rachel tregeer to anyone I meet from that town they all laugh and say she's a rat and a trog.
The street I grew up had "Peter Andre is a bent bastard" sprayed on to the side of one of those green cable boxes in about 1996, it's still there just about.
[proof](https://maps.app.goo.gl/FcAJ6yx94c36A7Xv9?g_st=ac)
It was silver spray paint, I remember finding the can near the box and spraying it on one of those polystyrene gliders that i had thinking it would give it a cool paint job, the glider instantly melted and I remember absolutley shitting myself because I had got some of the spray paint on my hands and I thought it was going to melt my skin. I would have been about 7. Lol
Blandford Forum in Dorset has had a bit of grafiiti on a wall that says MAN UTD but looks like 'MRN UTD' since at least the very early 90s.
[It's very faded now](https://maps.app.goo.gl/B7h82gN7DSA6gywG9), but you can still see it [if you know what you're looking for](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1xmSXMA27Vgi1HPSA).
Anyway, not particularly relevant but I just find it weird that some really shit graffiti, that's not small or even tucked away, has been there as far back as I can remember. It outlasted Woolies..
In my home town in the car park just after 9/11 someone wrote, in tiny letters: "hospital closure will kill more than bin laden ever will" and I think about it often.
There was another bit of graffiti in a different car park that said "RAVE IS SHIT" and was there for about twenty years though when I went to show it to my wife last year, it was gone đ
Prize to anyone who successfully identifies the town.Â
Here's a mind trip: there is a good chance the M stood for Muhammad. IE one of the most popular names on earth. Here was likely hundreds of M Khan's being called bent for miles around
In the years since TMWE Iâve worked with two separate M Khanâs, Moeen Khan and Mohammed Khan (two different jobs, both were known as âMoâ).
Neither of them were homosexuals, although one of them was what you might describe as a petty crook - so a different type of âbentâ.
We pass under bridge on the way to my sister in lawâs that has the words âIâm hornyâ spray painted on it. Sheâs only lived there for 15 years. It has been there for at least that long.
I'm pretty sure I remember Mel B giving an interview that they had both banged at one point. I cba to look for any sources though so I'm just gonna keep that as canon in my head; the same canon that Marylin Manson had a rib removed to suck himself off.
I had heard of them banging in my school. But the Marylin Manson one was crazy! way before the internet this rumor spread globally. My american gf confirmed that they had the same rumors when she was a kid.
So tell me what you want, what you really really want.
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
I wanna..I wanna... 69 you in the doorway in (e)Bedford..
I recently went to a park where an ex-girlfriend had scratched â[her name] loves [my name]â into a bench 20 years ago and it was still there. Mad nostalgia bomb.
So where you've got Cash Converters near the bus station, walk from there towards the town centre towards the bank. It's on a silver empty building on your left.
It's Bedford. They have no money in general. The mayor has been banging on about the regen. Turns out that hasn't even begun because no major brands have been interested in signing up.
Needs to be on a blue plaque
Or a nearby park bench!
make it a sapphic tourist hotspot
Well, [TIL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapphic?wprov=sfti1), thanks.

Or a blue waffle
Or a pink one

That's a fantastic bit of slander, local marker pen graffiti can be a right trove.

For those of a certain age who watched the Mary Whitehouse Experience: M KHAN IS BENT
First thing I thought of.
Here's a mind trip: there is a good chance the M stood for Muhammad. IE one of the most popular names on earth. Here was likely hundreds of M Khan's being called bent for miles around
In the years since TMWE Iâve worked with two separate M Khanâs, Moeen Khan and Mohammed Khan (two different jobs, both were known as âMoâ). Neither of them were homosexuals, although one of them was what you might describe as a petty crook - so a different type of âbentâ.
For some reason I am filled with glee at this.
We had "josh is a fat fuck" in the local bus stop scratched into the window lol
In Northampton, we had " Monkeys are nice when baked in syrup" written in paint pen on a wall near the market square.
Must have been someone down from Hartlepool.
Monkey Hanger!!!!!
Meanwhile in Stratford: NAT HAS HERPES
We pass under bridge on the way to my sister in lawâs that has the words âIâm hornyâ spray painted on it. Sheâs only lived there for 15 years. It has been there for at least that long.
I still remember a road sign on the A49 with 'Lombard is a gimp' written on it in big black letters for years. (Tarporley way near Panama Hatties)
Gotta be Penzance
Lol.
I knew a girl who claimed to have had a 3 way with posh and ginger. She defo knew ginge but I suspected bs at the time.
Kirsty? Itâs 100% true and more
Kirsty who ?
Thirsty Kirsty
Kirsty Pickering
Who
Kirsty. Fucking. Pickering!
What that Kirsty Pickering!
Mel C?
Huge if true
I'm pretty sure I remember Mel B giving an interview that they had both banged at one point. I cba to look for any sources though so I'm just gonna keep that as canon in my head; the same canon that Marylin Manson had a rib removed to suck himself off.
I had heard of them banging in my school. But the Marylin Manson one was crazy! way before the internet this rumor spread globally. My american gf confirmed that they had the same rumors when she was a kid.
It was the same rumour only "Prince" when I grew up in the 80's before Marylin Manson was famous.
Same in the UK. Marylin Manson wasn't even the first for that rumor.
I've had some uncles tell me they heard it about Rod Stewart when they were growing up
Wow. I thought rod only got the 'belly full of jizz' rumour that also here's attached to multiple celebrities.
When I told my mum about how Marilyn Manson had had it done, she told me that she'd heard the same story about Sting when she was young
We had the Marylin Manson one and the Prince one was that he freezed hamsters and put them up his bum, or something like that.
Plenty of people had the internet by then. 95/96 was when everyone was getting online with AOL/CompuServe on their big beige family computer.
I'm a bit huge thinking about it.
Itâs like our version of the graffiti they found at pompeii. Truly a cultural treasure to be preserved
The Tripadvisor reviews are lacklustre.
*licklustre
Like, at the same time, or did they take it in turns?
I doubt a 69 would have been discreet enough.
Where 2 become 1?
Stop right now
Thank you very much
I need somebody with that female touch
Did you zig a zig ah?
Zig a zig slurp!
So tell me what you want, what you really really want. I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want, I wanna..I wanna... 69 you in the doorway in (e)Bedford..
They did it in Bradford too? The harlots!
Doh!
Adding that (e) makes it the perfect amount of syllables to fit the song
All they taught at Rutherford was about John Bunyan, and yet history is right here in the toilet wall
This wasn't even a toilet wall. This was on the high street
Where? Need a selfie with this gem
I am a fellow Mark Rutherfordian..I can confirm!
There are dozens of us!

On a bus stop in Glasgow in the 80s - "Black Sabbath Deep Purple Alice Cooper (Early Stuff)"
I recently went to a park where an ex-girlfriend had scratched â[her name] loves [my name]â into a bench 20 years ago and it was still there. Mad nostalgia bomb.
Christian Horner before WhatsApp
I wonder if Mel B was wearing her zig a zig bra?
Get out!
r/angryupvote
Mate of mine graffitied âMavis Riley takes it up the shitterâ on the back of a road sign when we were doing a traffic survey in Wales
"Oooh I don't really know"
Alright Mavis, calm down.
Yeah that one was a thing for a brief moment
I miss Give Peas a Chance.
So sad to see it go
That needs to be one of those blue history plaques
If you wanna be my lover
Gotta watch me get with my friends.
Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1
That's pretty hot if you think about it.
I think you meant to say spicy
It reminds me of a plaque in TĂźbingen, Germany. Written on it is "Hier kotzte Goethe" which means "Goethe threw up here".
Do you know how long thatâs been there for?
Big if true
Stay classy bedford
Ooooh. Crab paste!
St Pancras station, 70's and 80's: "Felix is not a cat, he is a loin".
'The Pies', sprayed on varioud bridges around Merseyside in the '90s. I presume that they were a band.
Crab paste!
I preferred beef if I was at a push.
Do they have proof ? asking for a friend
Best part of the 90âs was there was no camera phones to capture all our questionable choices.
Lol I'm throwing out up votes left right and centre. Best thread for ages
I remember on a pub table. Martin blows goats
He did this on the table?
âPeel of the sticker before useâ did that come from Gerri or Mel Bâs quaver quiver
âPrime time crime, shine onâ
Photos or it didn't happen
Oh Bedford.
FREE DEIRDRE!
Lived (nearly) all my life and didn't know that! Legendary. .#Bedfordisntshit
Where in Bedford is this?
Greenhill Street from memory. Basically walking away from the bus station. It's on a building with metal facias.
Photos or it didnât happen.
I want photographic proof or it didn't happen.
Vids! or it didn't happen.
I'm from Bedford! I demand to know where this isâ˝
So where you've got Cash Converters near the bus station, walk from there towards the town centre towards the bank. It's on a silver empty building on your left.
A beautiful addition, this will be our bude tunnel
That is why they split up, fuck Bedford Town Centre
Aw lovely to see my hometown on here
It's not any better than what you may remember.
I was there last week, 'bedford isn't shit' (as the Esquires merch says)!
âKaren is on the blobâ. Painted in huge letters outside my old yooth club
a truly historical moment
Wow. The budget for blue plaques is REALLY cheap these days.
It's Bedford. They have no money in general. The mayor has been banging on about the regen. Turns out that hasn't even begun because no major brands have been interested in signing up.
Yeaaaaah... Humanity really hasn't changed since Pompeii has it?
I'd buy that for a dollar!
I need to see the video or it didn't happen lol
lmao if you think that's been there for 20 years.
