★ A Brazilian Example

In 2006, a dictionary of Portuguese gay slang (mostly Brazilian, from different regions) was published. With examples of Bajubá (or Pajubá), an argot that was created in the transgender community and later became known in the rest of the LGBT community, Aurélia is an interesting (and funny) compilation of expressions, and one can see many of them are already being used by a broader community, which shows the influence of these groups on society.

Some examples:
- Babado: 1 any event, either good or bad; 2 basfond; 3 romantic and/or sexual affair
- Coió: (from bajubá) to hit someone, to curse someone
- Comer mosca: to fail or to overlook flaws 
- coronel: older and independent lesbian that provides for lover
- Ivone: (RJ) diminutive of "passivone", passive homossexual
- Neide: (PE) dumb gay
- Ré no kibe: to be penetrated in the anus
- Sofá da hebe: (DF) place where gays meet to gossip
