Odd. I was unaware "fruitcake" was a derogatory term applied to homosexuals. It's only ever meant "crazy person" to me. -- nm - TWuG Oct 13, 07:02 2
- As nubby mentioned below, maybe it's a northern thing, but "fruit," "fruitcake" etc were derogatory towards gays when I was in middle school -- nm - MDH Oct 13, 07:12 1
  - Fruit definitely, but I hadn't heard fruitcake before. There are plenty of entries on urbandictionary that confirm what you're saying though -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 07:17
Hang on a minute. Where I'm from, that's an old-timey phrase for a generic crazy person, not a homosexual. - nubby Oct 13, 07:01 3
- I've heard it used both ways but mostly as a derogatory term for a gay person. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:20
- Yes, this is true. "Only a crazy person would love fruitcake." is what the sign should say. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 08:18
- Yeah, same here. -- nm - kelly Oct 13, 07:46
