It is from Brave New World.

But they are the non working ones, so QED: wimps

neither bisexual btw, nor homosexuals, are wimps. wimps are soooo überstraight!

I searched around the Internet, and the impression I get is a loner who is unlucky in love. Perhaps there a better definition out there. There were some literary references, but I've already forgot them.

I have had different interests at different times of my life. (I haven't bought an opera recording in even longer time than that!)

Actually I copied a snippet of Brave New World, and I replaced the letter Beta (2nd letter of the Greek Alphabet) with Theta (8th) and the other letters mentioned in the book with the "corresponding" ones: Alpha (1st) with Eta (7th), Gamma (3rd) with Iota (9th) and so on. If I recall correctly the range of Greek letters used in BNW only went from Alpha to Epsilon.

I'm amazed at the number of people who actually took the original post seriously.

Apart from the obvious humour it looked more like a question to provoke reactions and find out who is what in terms of orientation.

Whatever the reason for it, the "agent provocateur" approach doesn't seem to grow old...
