No wonder she likes this no-lesbo M/F spitefic, then. *makes hacking sound in throat*

NC Maybe this is a regional thing but I find lesbo/lezzo really offensive (more offensive than dyke, even). Is that not the case where you're from?

If it were, I sure wouldn't have used it.

It's offensive where I am too. I wondered if you were using it ironically, like how some people reclaim slurs, but it still made me wince.

I don't use homo or lesbo on the regular in everyday conversation, but neither of the no-____ versions offend me. Sorry if it upset anybody, but in context I'll admit I'm surprised about it.

I'm surprised, too. I've never seen a similar response to no-homo as a phrase to describe this sort of situation, and it throws me that people are responding this way to the no-lesbo version.

It'd be different if used as a pejorative, obviously, but it wasn't.

No worries! I hadn't seen this particular no-___ version before, so that's why it jarred me. But I get what you meant now.
