Gay Pimpin' With Jonny Mc Govern - Vernacular

Vernacular

Jonny McGovern, co-hosts, and friends frequently use slang and vernacular that is commonly referred to as "queen's speak" in the gay community; some of said vernacular are references to inside jokes on the podcast as well as the drag queen community in New York City's pier areas. Much of the vernacular is often quoted from the documentary "Paris is Burning". They include:

  • Fran: A contraction of "friend fans", Frans are fans and frequent listeners of the Podcast, its host and/or its cohosts.
  • Gwen: A disambiguation based on the word "queen" being mistakenly transcribed by a speech-to-text service on cellular telephones. "Queen" being often used as a pronoun i.e. "hey queen"/"hey gwen"
  • Sexo Sexo Pharmacia: A phrase uttered by then guest Brandy Howard, now used a popular catchphrase.
  • UnProfessional, gurl.: First used in a story Jonny told about Erika that was adopted into the podcast lexicon (unsurprisingly) used to describe unprofessional behavior
