I grew up in country SA surrounded by some bogans and ferals but never heard them use f** so I can’t imagine it being thrown around in Adelaide.

Poof/ poofter on the other hand was said all the time. So, if the story went like some yelled poofters from a car window at us, it would be more believable.

But regardless of the word it’s wrong to use it as a form of validation.

Hell yeah, another (close to) Radelaidean!

I've definitely heard poofter/poof being used, although it's mostly older people than people my age.

Completely agree here. If you're proud of being called slurs (or you're using them yourself against gay men, which is ridiculously common among 'gay' transmen), then you're a fucking idiot and should find a better goddamn hobby.
