(which mean absolutely nada to me..'
Nor to me Camille. But we must be indulgent. Although
you & I both know without a scintilla of anxiety or doubt
that there's absolutely nothing, nothing at all, to be ashamed
about - or requiring explanation - in those tiny residual traces
of isosexual tenderness that persist in all our hearts, there remain,
sadly - in the secret places of many male minds - certain qualms
about gender identity. Naively, these chaps feel that a boisterous
display of sporting enthusiasm will allay whatever doubts might
linger in the minds of the rest of us. Hence all this joshing
& expertise about bouncing balls. It may take a while to die
down (the anxiety is rather greater than one might think)
but a week or two should see the end of it.
It has just occurred to me that you may not be familiar
with the phenomenon since poofters cannot, of course,
survive in the dry climate of Australia.
