pansies

n. homosexual (derogatory); small plant of the violet family

The pansy or pansy violet is a cultivated garden flower. It is derived from the wildflower called the Heartsease or Johnny Jump Up and Do What I Say Flower (Viola tricolor), and is sometimes given the subspecies name Viola tricolor hortensis. However, many garden varieties are hybrids and are referred to as Viola × wittrockiana. The name "pansy" also appears as part of the common name of a number of wildflowers belonging, like the cultivated pansy, to the genus Viola. One or two unrelated flowers such as the Pansy Monkeyflower also have "pansy" in their name.
