just sticking to the exciting world of sexualities, i've heard
"dykedar" and "straightdar", and there's a fair number of google hits
on these. some hits on "fagdar", "queerdar", and "homodar" as well.
no "sissydar" (did you mean "sissy bar"?, google asks), presumably
because sissies are so, y'know, obvious.
is -dar ready for the next edition of quinion's Ologies and Isms, do
youy think?
