How old do you think he was when he first heard "Penis Van Lesbian"?
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyke_(slang) says the term "was used as a derogatory term for lesbians by straight people" by the 1950s, and is in a 1942 slang dictionary at https://archive.org/details/bwb_T5-BCF-927/page/374/mode/2up... . Since he was born in 1925, it seems possible that he encountered that term before he turned 18 in 1943.)
