Poofter is a slang term for a male homosexual that appeared in early–mid 20th-century British English. It is an extended form of poof, emphasizing effeminacy or nonconforming behavior. Historically, it was highly derogatory, often used to mock, insult, or demean gay men. While some gay communities have occasionally reclaimed it in playful or ironic ways, it remains offensive and insulting in most contexts and is generally avoided in polite or neutral conversation.
