I don't imagine many people would use it nowadays with its former meaning of 'effeminate male homosexual', but the memory lingers on. And then, there were vintage comics in the UK, like Beano, and one of the recurring characters was "Pansy Potter, the Strong Man's Daughter'; she was well known for tearing up telephone directories, punching holes in walls etc and the irony was pleasant, but would probably also have made parents think twice.
