shirt lifter

A most amusing synonym for homosexual, that is sadly not in everyday usage. It would have been most common in public or grammar schools and used by nausghty schoolboys. An ideal insult for the less crude or poorly educated, and due to its less common nature sounds, more original

All the personal pronouns and what have you, in this poem seem to be male. The poet was a bloke. I assume he must have been a bit of an old shirt lifter
