| I haven't heard the term Bishie in a very long time, along with the whole genderfluid character archetype Christmas Cake - i remember it being being fairly common back in the days of Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star, where the girls teacher is considered an old hag for not being married at the old age of 26. |

| For example: - A girl/boy running to school with toast in mouth yelling "Chikoku chikoku!". - A boy getting nosebleed from sexual excitement. Nowadays, these are often used in parody shows as nostalgic memes rather than being used seriously as sincere tropes. |

What do you mean it's "outdated", that's just Japanese slang for top and bottom in gay relationships. To get more nerdy, 攻め(seme) means "attack; offensive" and 受け(uke) means "defense".
