it's what cam'ron says as pre-emptive fire whenever he wears pink or purple. it has caught on in a sad way.

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 13 March 2005 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I submit instead "YES homo!" We can make buttons.

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Sunday, 13 March 2005 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

it's conversational punctuation that means "but i'm not gay"

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 13 March 2005 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

as in "no homo, but I have a big cock in my mouth right now."

for those playing along at home, what dom did there was google image search for "no homo" and post the first result.

i really like something about this phrase, though. maybe because i don't hear it very much.

i heard this THRICE on the street in toronto last visit

― jones (actual), Sunday, 13 March 2005 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i haven't heard this, but i'm among ppl who neither wear pink not listen to cam'ron.

do you say it to...anyone who looks at you?

― f--gg (gcannon), Sunday, 13 March 2005 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

NOR, above.

anyway the maxim magazine get out clause for faggot clothes is "regular colors ok, food bad, so pink = yes, salmon = no"

― f--gg (gcannon), Sunday, 13 March 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

My boyfriend made a button that says "Does this dick in my mouth make me look gay?". I should wear it on an all pink outfit and use "no homo" constantly . . . .

i find it heartening to know that this isn't as widespread as i'd feared.

I love 'no homo', all dipset slang is pretty much hilarious. btw i know some ppl who have taken to replacing it with 'no karamo', so named for the DL brotha on this season of the Real World

You're the only person I know who says "romo," leon. I learned it from watching you (And some trouser press '90s guide entry, I think).

i've occasionally used (no euro) to reaffirm that anything positive I say about a European band doesn't come from some kind of sadsack anglophiliac tendency. That I don't think Kylie is better than Beyonce or whatever.

Example: Pulp were a rewarding singles band (no euro).

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 13 March 2005 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

"Song 2" is awesome (no euro)!

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 13 March 2005 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

might as well get these out of the way:

pro-yahoogroups -> no majordomo
anti-microhouse -> no luomo
anti-pope -> no duomo

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 13 March 2005 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

now please, no momo.

I still think "Yes Homo" should be an ad campaign, perhaps featuring pro-gay celebrities.

A bit of looking around suggests that it's used by two not nesseccarily distinct set of people. One is people who are using it, or are claiming to, in order to laugh at Cam'Ron, a man who is terrified of anything he says being viewed as homosexual, and who is also attempting to patent his own shade of pink. The source link is on a site called Cocaine Blunts . Now on the one hand, it's a thing worth mocking, on the other hand, no-one trusts the youth of today, it's-clever-doesn't-mean-it's-good, "did we suffer through the nineties for nothing?" etc etc.

The other group are actual honest to god homophobic hip hop fans and bloggers, and the main point of reference here is a guy called bol, who it may not suprise you to hear, is a prick. Though bizarrely the first hate-out on his site mentions "teh ghey", which is a phrase I've only heard from Starry Sarah before. The internet is a small and strange place.

What both sides have in common is a new catchphrase, and glee at using it. They can both be pretty inventive at finding phrasings for innocuous sentences that end up prurient (a trait I have great love for myself) and no-one's getting killed over it, so it's not all that big a deal unless you believe in progress or something.

this is from a post on whether beyonce or ashanti is hotter:

"Note that I won't generally (unless I think I've really got a chance at scoring), and didn't in this case, refer to a chick as "pretty."...Also note that this post in no way endorses a preference for the music of either of these so-called artists. In other words, no homo."

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 13 March 2005 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, nevermind, this has got to be a parody or something.

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 13 March 2005 23:24 (twenty-one years ago)

wow, that site's a mooktastrophe. but besides this guy, I've never known anyone to use 'no homo' in any way other than to elicit lolz. i personally find the way that karamo has been turned into a slur to be much more disturbing, though maybe i'm alone on that one

yeah, I just heard a Joe Budden freestyle (over the Cassidy "I'm A Hustlah" beat) the other night with the couplet "I’m a grown man, I don’t have to say ‘no homo’/ cause in the real world most niggas Karamo"

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 14 March 2005 03:57 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, I was just thinking earlier that "i'm a grown man!!" is right under no homo et al as one of my favorite hip-hop expressions.

Anderson Cooper Speaks!

From the June '05 Blender, re: Scissor Sisters:
"I've known the lead singer, Jake Shears, since before he was in the band - we met through mutual friends."

So I think that's pretty official then.

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Saturday, 21 May 2005 23:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Jake Shears gave me his number last time he was in Vancouver but I'm too scared to call it so it just sits there, like the detonation code for a big pink nuclear bomb.

― nathalie's baby (stevie nixed), Sunday, 22 May 2005 08:46 (twenty-one years ago)

A term first brought about by the freestyle king Joe Budden.

1. To conceal ones gayness behind a veneer of "Gangsta-ness".

2. To appear "thug" on the outside, while at the same time being a homosexual.
