Gaylord is a slang term for a gay man that appeared in mid-20th-century English, especially in North America. It originally comes from the proper name "Gaylord," which meant "joyful" or "high-spirited," but in slang it became associated with men perceived as effeminate or homosexual. Historically, the term was derogatory, often used to mock or insult gay men, and it carries a strong teasing or contemptuous tone. Today it is mostly historical and rarely used outside discussions of vintage slang, and using it in modern conversation would almost always be offensive.
