Why has no one considered the very human meanings of
fairy?
Quite. This whole thing has made me wonder if the 'very human meanings of
fairy' might be less prevalent in the USA / elsewhere than they are here in the UK...
"Very human meanings of
fairy" aren't very prevalent here from my experience. I can't remember the last time I heard someone IRL called a "fairy", even though when I was in school "gay" was used as a general all-purpose insult referring to just about anything to the point that it was bleached of much of its homosexuality.
