Poof

At best, a dictionary definition. Not a disambiguation page, since nothing in this article links to anything. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 08:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if this word is really commonly used in Britain for homosexuals (I can't tell), otherwise redirect to Florida Philharmonic Orchestra. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not a dictionary. The orchestra can be listed under POOF if it's considered significant. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to homosexual. Colonel Warden (talk) 10:45, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to homosexual, ensure term is mentioned there. Has been current UK slang for over 45 years, and still current. N.B. plural usually "pooves". Another UK variant is "poofter" --Philcha (talk) 14:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
