Bandit

Bandit

(British)

1. A homosexual. A dismissive or derisory term used by avowedly heterosexual males and deriving from longer expressions such as trouser bandit, arse bandit,

chocolate bandit, etc.

2. -bandit an ironic or jocular combining word, added to suggest a desperate or reprehensible character or, in police jargon, literally a criminal. In his Field Manual for Police (1977) David Powis cites 'milk bandit' as an ironic term for penniless milk-bottle thieves; 'gas-meter bandit' is self-explanatory.
