Kiki gay slang

What does Kiki mean? A kiki is a social gathering, usually for the purpose of casually “kicking back,” gossiping, and sharing stories. It is historically connected to LGBTQ+ communities. Alternatively, kiki is also the name of a ballroom drag subculture that celebrates gender nonconformity, racial diversity, and sexual openness.

The word kiki first evolved from the French word meaning to “to choke” or “to throttle.” In the s, the word was used to describe gay men who took on either dominant or submissive roles when sexual relations arose.
