unspecified MtF person: oh you silly billy, unspecified straight onlooker: haven't heard that in a long time, bigot: absolute scream of rage.

this came into my head when some random time i heard silly billy being used and I've been wanting to get it out ever since.

Reminds me of "goof", which was used endearingly in my family growing up, like "silly goof". Later, when my circle overlapped with some wannabe gangsters, I find out some considered it one of the worst insults you could give.
