Gustavo’s call to BBB 22 is controversial, since the brother assumes he is straight, and top, that is, a top straight guy.
Not just one, but several people must have already asked themselves what straight top means, a slang adopted by Gustavo from BBB 22. The participant, who becomes part of the reality show’s Casa de Vidro, left many curious when he used the term. In this sense, the native of Curitiba reportedly commented that he would like to “reframe” the straight top slang. But after all, what would it mean? It is no longer news that the ideal of the term has been around the BBB for a good few years. In the current edition, 3 men in the house have already used the expression in different ways.
To better understand, it is interesting to analyze the context in which it was inserted in each narrative. In the case of Lucas, for example, in his presentation video, his brother commented that he was a “top straight guy”. In a way, it is possible to assume that “good” would already indicate that the expression would have a negative, as well as mocking, meaning.
On the other hand, in the case of Eliézer, there was a complete rejection of the label after kissing Natália and Maria. In conversation with Jade, the brother said that he would not like to be seen as a “top straight guy”. Therefore, a man who kisses everyone and sees women as trophies. Finally, Gustavo, in turn, was against it: “The top straight guy painted today by ‘lacrolândia’ is a white, successful person and I’m proud to be a top straight guy in my concept. I’m straight and I consider myself top.” Understanding the concept becomes easier just by saying it.
What does straight top mean, slang adopted by Gustavo from BBB 22
The term “top straight” does not have an exact date of emergence. Thus, it is believed that he came a long way, and came around completely. The expression came from one type of audience and passed on to another, and often alternates between joke and serious talk. Initially, the word “top” entered the vocabulary of heterosexuals, mainly young, upper class and conservative men. It means nothing but a good thing. It even gained variations, such as “topzera”.
However, people completely different from the profile discovered the slang on social media and began to use it ironically. For example, a tweet from Neymar from 2010 with the words “God is TOP” still goes viral today, due to the comical meaning of the word. It became something common among various audiences outside of the stereotype. Thus, to identify those who spoke “top” seriously, right from the start, men who loved the term gained the nickname “straight top”.
Furthermore, the expression exploded in 2020, when before it was not used so often. It had many searches on Google from the end of the same year, which indicates the date of its popularization. Be that as it may, debauchery began to be assumed by many men who fit the profile, such as Lucas and Gustavo. Now, it is possible to understand what straight top means, a slang adopted by Gustavo from BBB 22.
