dropping hairpins 

To give hints that one is gay. Usually in the act of determining whether or not a person is safe to come out to. Also to see if an object of desire is also gay.
When I was talking with Jim, I dropped a couple hairpins, but I don't think he picked up on them.

Forget cosmetology, a cosmetologist, or barber......... a hairapist describes anyone who cuts hair and has heard it all, but also gives advice.

Hirpantesqutee 

A catch-all term for things that are very similar to other things, but intentionally skewed in order to be recognizably based on something but different enough that if it was presented without context it would be unlikely to remind the viewer of the source material. It is similar to satire, or parody, but doesn't contain the connotation of mockery.
That dude with long hair looks like a hirpantesqutee Marilyn Manson.
