dl trade

A “DL trade” is a homosexual male, that presents himself as a very masculine straight guy (trade). He’s gay, but keeps it on the down low (dl). He usually keeps his relationships with other men hidden.

— “Look at that fine ass guy! You think hes gay?”
“Ho that man is a dl trade, steer clear.”

— “My man my man my man, I wanna take him to the alter.”
“He’d have to come out first bitch!”

trade deadline syndrome

A feeling or attitude that sports GMs get around the trade deadline that often makes them agree to trade deals that they would normally have rejected.

Sports fan 1: What? Why did they trade him?
Sports fan 2: (sighs) Just another victim of trade deadline syndrome...

Dl Bi Trade

Dl (meaning down-low) Bi (bisexual) trade is a phrase describing a bisexual man who is at least moderately attractive that f*cks with dolls (trans women).

The historical definition of trade originated from ballroom culture in NYC in the 80s/90s, stemming from black and latino trans and gay culture. The word described a black or latinx man who was masculine appearing but also a little gay. Now the term has been coined by many trans women to describe hot men who they find attractive or vice versa.

Omg, I saw my dl bi trade in the dining hall today, he was staring at me.
