Are you a friend of Dorothy?
 This term will be particularly familiar to older members of the LGBTQI+ community. Calling oneself a “friend of Dorothy” was a secret way in which queer people could identify one another in the first half of the twentieth century. Its usage was particularly prevalent during World War II, allowing men to identify one another without fear of hostility. Before turning up the flirtatious vibes, someone could simply ask the other if they were a friend of Dorothy. If the answer was yes (especially if they were a very close friend), then it was safe to proceed. If the answer was met with confusion, the flirtation could be abandoned (rough luck if you were out of touch with the slang of the day).
