'''Fleto''' and '''Fleta''' are Chilean slurs used to describe [[Gay|homosexual]] men and women respectively
▲'''Fleto''' and '''Fleta''' are Chilean slurs used to describe [[Gay|homosexual]] men and women respectively [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fleto <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>], even though it's also used against [[transgender]], [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]], and [[multisexual]] people regardless of their actual identity. Despite its offensive nature, this word has been reclaimed by some queer individuals in an effort to take away its power. It's not meant to be used towards anyone who hasn't consented to it personally.
== History ==
▲It is similar to words like [[cola]], [[maricón]] and [[Hueco|hueco/a]].
It is unclear when would the word ''fleto'' appear in the Spanish language, but some of the earliest internet records of it appear in 2008<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fleto 2008 usage}}]</ref> and 2011.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?diff=12709749&oldid=1522504&title=fleto&type=revision 2011 usage}}]</ref>
