Gable End

Definition

Technically the end house in a row of connected terraced houses, but also repurposed as British cockney rhyming slang to sneakily insult someone's sexuality without being obvious. Architectural real estate has never been more passive-aggressive.

Example Usage

That house on the corner with the triangular roof is the gable end of the entire street.
