The "Optimus Prime" of Gay Language

  Chuk chak chienes. Chika. Ching. Chenelin. Etchos. Etchoserang palakang kokak. These are just some of the words in gay languages across time. From parlor talk to entertainment talk and now, becoming part of the mainstream talk for some high schools and colleges and industries such as the call center industry, gay lingo is one variety of language that is as interesting as French, as old school as Latin, as romantic as Spanish and as both simple and complex as the lingua franca of the world, the English language.
