Dear Darling Bosco,
It could be that I jumped the gun on Dominic (no puns
here) but in all my years as a Goan, I've never heard
this word used. If indeed this is a Goan word to
describe homosexuality, then how would one describe
heterosexuality? Potmarob? Because all you can see
protruding from Goan men, are their ample "pots". :))
