i still dont get why people like to describe things with the word gay.
for example.
if they think something is stupid.
omg that is so gay!
im not sure what all of you think gay means but let us define it for you:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gay
just a major pet peeve of mine.0
so its gay.. as opposed to straight?
i know its mostly teenagers who use this word to feel like they must use 'gay' to fit in. learn some english! thanks. ;)
Lol just the way it is i suppose...
Calling someone a fruit is and will always be funny. Or calling something fruity is funny aswell. I prefer to call things homosexual. It sounds more sophisticated. Or my favorite "Youre a fucking homo". Gay jokes are funny. Period, whats funnier than a guy who acts like hes a woman to attract other men who dont have vaginas. Why is it that since gay dudes like anal sex, they think have have to talk/act like a girl? Most girls I know hate anal.
I like when something sucks, or is odd..... i like to say... Full Gay.....
sorry crude...... it took me better than a decade to quit saying DUDE.
I second that gay jokes are funny and that whole post had be laughing
thats the most ridiculous thing ive read on here today, as a teen i am not compelled to call things that simply arent gay, gay. especially to "fit in"Quote:

but who cares, when people say im in a pickle, we dont call them out for that and be like NO you have a problem a pickle is a cucumber that has sat in pickle juice.
its part of the english language to have stupid sayings like that, and making fun of gay people is as american as apple pie
im just really blazed and thought i would ramble on, happy tokin :rasta:
HABIT.
like over here i might even say ti to a gay guy and they sometiimes think nothing of it because they know what m actauly trying to say... like if a guy walks down the street liek...bopping over the top liek you swinging their shoulders.......that is so gay......= ..that is so pathetic,sad,weird,dumb
even most gay guys know it where i am they know its not a personal insult towards them directly its just because when we were being brought up "gay" was an insult and gay peopel wernt so open about it and most people were hateing....so now we just have the habit even if we dont really mean it.
I mean that shit.
gay has come to have multiple meanings....like so many other words
i dont mean it as a diss at all to homosexuals when i say it, but im not gonna change the way i speak.
Malachy McCourt, actor, writer and brother of writer Frank, had a radio show on WMCA in New York City in the 1970's. At that time the word "gay" was just beginning to be known to the general public as "homosexual" - and Malachy didn't think that it was appropriate. He said something like, "I'm gay - but I do not have, or want to have, sex with other men!".
Now it's gotten stuck with other meanings such as "stupid".
