Thread: This is going to sound very strange...

Hi, I'm new to the language and had a very odd question about slang. Does anyone know how I would say "boy toy" in Russian, i.e. in the gay sense?

О боже мой. Ещё один голубой пришёл??? Ну вот дело не в чём что есть проблема с "gays". мы все знаем что всё с taty в порядке =)) Но когда они такие flamboyant... сводит нас с ума.

Я не понял сошёл ты с ума уже или ещё нет.

And finally what's "boy toy" in russian or at least in plain english?

The only thing I can think of is a doll like Ken or smth.

Да скажите же наконец, как это будет!
(хотя думаю, чтобы знать жаргонный эквивалент, нужно вращаться в соответствующих кругах, т.к. общепринятого слова для этого я не знаю... )

a boy toy is like... a guy that like a girl (or gay guy) that you do sexual things to... or have control over them in bed.

Never say "it makes me mad" in the sense "it makes me angry" in Russian, because they are NOT synonyms in Russian. "Сводит меня с ума" will be understood as "I am crazy about him" (blame Alware)

only сводит с ума - drives crazy

достаёт - drives mad

I thought that was quite clear

But there is an equivalent in Russian! That's "Это меня бесит!" (бесить <=> бешенный)

Have no idea of it's russian equivalent

она сводила меня с ума = я влюблялся?

Wasn't Madonna the original boytoy?

Серьезно, если и есть русский эквивалент, который употребляют сами геи, то он не известен широкой общественности.
