Okoge (おこげ, Fag Hag) is a gay-themed Japanese film written and directed by Takehiro Nakajima, released in 1992. The title comes from Japanese slang for a woman who prefers the company of gay men; okama (おかま or オカマ, cooking pot) is used as a slang reference for gay men, and by analogy okoge (おこげ, burnt rice), rice that sticks to a cooking pot during cooking, is used to refer to their female friends.^[1]
