What's the slur the DM are on about as originating from a Caribbean insult towards gay people? B---Y or something? (I make this sound like I'm filling in a risque crossword but I just genuinely have no idea what it is)

In Jamaican English and creole, batty boy (also batty bwoy, batty man, and chi chi bwoy/man) is a pejorative term for a gay or effeminate man. The term batiman (or battyman) is used in Belizean Creole.

In 2006, Time Magazine claimed that Jamaica was the worst place in the Americas for LGBT people and among the most homophobic places in the world.Sex between men is punishable with up to 10 years in jail.

Certain forms of Jamaican music feature hostility toward homosexuals using terms such as 'batty boy' to disparage LGBT people. One example of this is through a T.O.K. song "Chi Chi Man", which contains violent lyrics against gay men and claims that "they have to die". Another notorious song, "Boom Bye Bye" written by dancehall musician Buju Banton, advocates violence against batty boys, including shooting them in the head and setting them on fire.

But Sarah never used it in a hateful way towards gay people though she doesn't have no issues with gay people. She shouldn't have said and shes's messy and should stay away from the drink but its no where near homophobia yet

It is homophobic to say stuff like that though, why would it even pop into your head otherwise unless you somehow see it as an insult to say to a straight guy?
