Brandon Bell/Getty Images Donald Trump's decision to tell a female reporter 'Quiet, piggy' during a press gaggle on Air Force One has triggered an unexpected debate online about coded language, queer identity slang and the deeper meaning behind his choice of words. The exchange, captured on a White House video, spread quickly across social platforms and prompted users to analyse why he delivered the remark in a cartoon-like tone while wagging his finger. Many viewers focused on the insult itself, yet others raised questions about the cultural associations of the word 'piggy' and how it intersects with LGBTQ-coded language.
