Mary-Ann is a slang term that appeared in mid-20th-century English to describe a gay man perceived as noticeably feminine in manner, voice, or style. The term comes from the feminine given name "Mary-Ann," applied metaphorically to emphasize traits culturally associated with women, such as delicacy, grace, or softness. Historically, it was derogatory or teasing, often used to mock or belittle men for effeminacy, though it could sometimes be used playfully within gay communities. Today it is mostly historical and would generally be considered offensive if used outside informed or affectionate queer contexts.
