Heh. Um, yeah ... not well at all. Same goes for the right proper term (in the Kingdom, anyway) that is 'fag'.
Utter either of them in here in the States and it's a solid way to earn the 'bigot' term for oneself.
They'll suspect you even if you use it in the right context, too.
(If, by that, you take me to mean that I believe the politically correct set is run amok here in the States, you are correct, sir! As BtC would say - ACK thpbpht!!!)
