Thanks :)
The 'steers and queers' line is originally from Full Metal Jacket. Red Dwarf just referenced it.

*dons geek hat*
But the "Which are you boy?" line is RD. It's 'cowboy' in the film.
I'll geek off now.

Ah...
Well that just shows I'm more familiar with that Red Dwarf episode than I am with FMJ :)

Steers and queers was also used in An Officer and a Gentleman (which pre-dates FMJ).
Great post btw :D

Just looked up the full FMJ quote, for the record:
"Holy dogshit! Texas, only steers and queers come from Texas, private Cowboy! And you don't much look like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down!"

So the RD quote is referencing An Officer and a Gentleman rather than FMJ.
