Here's a picture taken from a Tweet of user which is a fairly specific username :) Right so this is a stereotype?Īs with any catch-all term, describing someone as an otter is a stereotype, it's not wrong to use the term, but it does generalise. We're sure there's plenty of you who have straight mates who are otter-like in their appearance. There's one problem with the above definition, can you see it? Well, appearing as an otter isn't sexuality specific.
'A gay man who is very hairy all over his body, but is smaller in frame and weighs considerably less than a bear.' Perhaps the best definition comes from the Urban Dictionary which states: No, the converse was about the term often used to describe a male who has a hairy body, often very hairy, including but not limited to their beard, chest, arms, back, arms and legs. Offfft look at that snail trail of belly hair.īefore you check wikipedia, this doesn't concern a cute semi-aquatic weasel type animal with webbed feet and thick fur, although, fur of sorts does play a part.
Overhead in the Box Menswear offices today circled around exactly what is and isn't a Gay Otter.
