Help[Opinions] Re: Mariposa
in reply to a message by Caitlín
I like it as a name, but I heard on another board (I think it was BNaBBT) that in some Spanish-speaking countries, Mariposa is used as offensive slang against homosexuals in the same way as 'fairy' is used in English-speaking countries. If that's right, it puts me off completely.

Maricon is that slang. Not Mariposa.

Oh, I didn't know that. If it's true, then using it as a name would be a BAD idea :(
