'''Fleto''' and '''Fleta''' are Chilean slurs used to describe [[Gay|homosexual]] men and women respectively,<ref>[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fleto#Spanish Definition]</ref> although it's also used against [[transgender]], [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]], and [[multisexual]] people regardless of their actual identity. Despite its offensive nature, this word has been reclaimed by some queer individuals in an effort to take away its power. It's not meant to be used towards anyone who hasn't consented to it personally.
Similar terms include: [[cola]], [[maricón]] and [[Hueco|hueco/a]].
