This study aims to explore the metapragmatic labels of madilik, madikoli and gullüm which belong to the Turkish queer argot/slang/language. These three labels are concepts describing certain interactional practices through which Turkish queer individuals (mis)manage their rapport with others. For the study, through the snowball sampling method, data was gathered from a participant group with diverse queer identities. With an interview prepared based on the Critical Incident Technique, incidents that the participants labeled as madilik, madikoli and gullüm were elicited. The analysis of the incidents was based on Spencer-Oatey’s (2015) Rapport Management Model, which comprises rapport management orientations, face sensitivities, rights and obligations and interactional wants of the participants’ lived experiences. The results revealed that madilik was related more to having a rapport challenge or neglect orientation along with situational face, want or rights threats, and impoliteness strategies. As for madikoli and gullüm, the data showed that a rapport maintenance or enhancement orientation with elements of mock impoliteness (Culpeper, 1996, 2011) and solidarity enhancement was prevalent.
