Fun fact: the term was literally invented by the British tabloid press to explain how (football superstar and husband of Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham) David Beckham could wear a sarong without being secretly gay.
I wish I was making it up but that's genuinely the origin of the term š¤¦

I watched the Beckham documentary recently and although Iām not really into football it was deplorable how the media treated DB back then and really does show how sick the media are/were.
