A-gay

An A-list gay; an affluent, well-connected, upwardly mobile gay man or woman.

The A-Gays could talk about whoever was tooting coke in the bathroom.

acada

A current or former university student.

aft

Alternative form of afternoon: the time of day from noon until early evening.

A gents' toilet room might be found in a house that caters for the cheaper class of theatrical patronage, where the slangy language of the "goin' to the mat this aft?" style prevails. A gents toilet room is not found in the Southern Hotel. It either "men's" or "gentlemen's".
