For the first time in about 15 years, I saw the episode of Star Trek where Kirk rassles his 'old classmate', Finnegan. I never knew until now that 'old classmate' is apparently gay men's slang for 'fuck buddy for whom I still pine.'

Yes, it dates back to Oscar Wilde, who aften refered to Bosie as his "old classmate".

Among other things.

Aaaaaaaaand now I've got this vision of Oscar and Bosie rasslin' around on Those Rocks...

You know, that's actually a more enjoyable image than Kirk and what's his name.

Hm...Oscar's got the weight, but Bosie's wiry...and suddenly I'm hearing everything in Frank de Caro's voice. Oh dear.

It's a relatively new defintion, one that's been kept a secret for many years.

It also explains the cryptic phrase, "Friend of Finnegan," which has puzzled me since I found it salted throughout the works of Armistead Maupin.
