'''Cola''' is a reclaimed Spanish slur typically used against [[feminine]] non-heterosexual men and transfeminine people in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chile Chile] specifically. It's also used against straight men, but only under the presumption that they happen to be [[queer]].
▲== '''History''' ==
The word '''cola''' appears to become popular in the 50s as a code word for homosexuals and trans women used by the police. It derives from the inversion of the word "loca" meaning "crazy woman". [https://www.moscasdecolores.com/en/gay-dictionary/spanish/cola/ <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]
▲== '''Reclamation''' ==
In the modern day the word has been reclaimed by Hispanics who wish to remove power from it and proudly identify as colas. However, this word is of exclusive use among non-hetero men, [[transfeminine]] people and possibly [[AMAB|amab]] [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people as well.
