Are you Zesty?

So, I work with a couple of non-binary people. Lately the students in the school have been asking questions about the conflict of genitalia, sex, and gender identity. Since the NBP are quite uncomfortable with this line of questioning (and rightfully so), they’ve been actively trying to shut down the discussion. Since I work with teenagers with mental health problems, this shut-down isn’t well received. So the kids do what kids do… Name calling. R-word. Gay. Zesty. Zesty?

Apparently, zesty can be used in a derogatory fashion. The more you know…

Zesty is an internet slang term most often used to call someone flamboyantly gay in a derogatory manner. It is also used to call someone or something lively and energetic. The term became popularized on TikTok in 2022 as a way of jokingly calling someone out for doing something that can be perceived as stereotypically gay or effeminate

So, I guess, don’t be zesty.

What’s the conflict of genitalia? Is that like a sword fight?

Got it, I thought you were referring to an organization or something that was trying to shut it down. Now it all makes sense.

I’ll ask my kids if they know what it means.

My son keeps saying stuff is “low key”, or at least I think that’s what he is saying. No idea what it means.

So can you use Zesty in a non-derogatory way or is this a bad word now?

sorry still confused.

is flamboyantly gay uncool among non-binary people?

I’m also confused. I see this as something like the long-used “crunchy.” Which can at times be used as a pejorative, but also in endearing or lighthearted ways among lesbians. Zesty seems to be similar.

I’m hungry now.

I ate a bag of Doritos zesty nacho cheese the other day. Did I just catch the gay?

I hear crunchy used to describe hippies, treehuggers, outdoorsey types. Depends on the the person saying it, but lots of times there’s nothing pejorative about it.

Zesty is a great word.

I feel Zesty AF.

Comes from granola, so you can draw a line from that

Interestingly, the shaggy, scruffy people at Phish shows are called “wookies,” regardless of gender

I also use ‘crunchy’ to describe failing bearings in those 2-wheeled thingies that people talk about over on the other side of the wall, and it’s most definitely perjorative in this application.

It’s certainly an improvement on “flamboyantly gay”, I’m surprised it took this long to come up with something shorter.

I find people use the word “fabulous” to insinuate someone/thing is flamboyantly gay.

“Have I met Pete? Yeah I have! Nice guy. He’s, uh, pretty fabulous.”

It is amazing, l have seen GQPers on some of their various wacky web pages code the word as, " r3t4rd3d ". Usually calling democrats that. Calling them that and “woke” of course (GQPers just love that word).
