MimI'm replaying Dragon Quest Builders 2 at the mo, and had completely forgotten about the Goodybag - a monster that's basically a sack of loot, with necklaces and treasure poking out of the top - called Jules who speaks #polari . I don't know who does the localisation for the games, but it's brilliant. Bona, even.

FABULOSA! oooh … BONA!
did you ever listen to #JulianAndSandy on the BBC?
(nice family entertainment)
Wikipedia says: “As well as being a successful comedy act, Julian and Sandy were notable for being two stereotypical camp homosexual characters in mainstream entertainment at a time when homosexual acts between men were illegal in the United Kingdom. The writers and cast thought the characters worked very well as they were not simply there to be the target of a joke: in fact most of the sketches revolved around Kenneth Horne's presumed ignorance being the target of their jokes…
Their use of Polari in sketches introduced the gay cant to a mass audience, and identified them as gay to those in the know. Although this prompted a brief revival, Round the Horne ultimately led to Polari's near-demise as a means of communication between gay men.”
