From the Latin epicoenus meaning “of both genders” from the Greek epikoinos meaning “common to many.”

“Gavin recounted to his boyfriend the insult he had received from an obvious homophobe earlier that night. Epicene he had been called, you’re at least 90% woman, the man had said.

Well, Gavin replied, does the remaining 10% include my butt? Because I saw you checking that out earlier.”

Love Tahlia, your resident code monkey.

I've got to compliment you on your LJ user name, but at the same time I've got to curse you for getting that song stuck in my head again. I love it, sure, but now I'll be listening to JoCo for days on end.
