Roaring
What kind of person is roaring? Does it only mean loud or could it be even wild?
Top answer
I've never heard a person described solely as "roaring". I've heard it said that someone is 'roaring with laughter', which just means that they are laughing very loudly and intensely.

In this context, I'd say "flagrant" homosexuals.

Dear Antonia,
It is an interesting question. Here, I believe, «roaring» is «to an extreme degree».
Have a nice day,

Hi,
'A roaring success' is probably a similar use of the adjective 'roaring'.
For homosexuals, the adjective I hear more often is 'flaming'.
Best wishes,
Clive

Where I'm from, 'raging' is the most common word for this context. I think they are all used to convey the same idea: that of an uncontrollable sexual frenzy. It's bullying really, isn't it?

Thank you all, they were a kind of pushy, I mean, they were looking for the victims all the time.

'Roaring' can also mean 'ebullient', 'boisterous', 'in exaggeratedly high spirits'. In 16th-17th century slang, a 'roaring boy' was a quarrelsome, riotous street-fighting male.
