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".
Original definitions:
1. [a] bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer; "a cheery hello"; "a gay sunny room"; "a sunny smile".
Websterâ??s Dictionary, 1913:
Gay
<XPAGE=616 Gay (?), a. [Compar. Gayer (?); superl. Gayest.] [F. gai, perhaps fr. OHG. ghi swift, rapid, G. gäh, jäh, steep, hasty; or cf. OHG. whi beatiful, good. Cf. Jay.]
1. Excited with merriment; manifesting sportiveness or delight; inspiring delight; livery; merry.
Belinda smiled, and all the world was gay. Pope.
Gay hope is theirs by fancy fed. Gray.
2. Brilliant in colors; splendid; fine; richly dressed.
Why is my neighbor's wife so gay? Chaucer.
A bevy of fair women, richly gay In gems and wanton dress. Milton
3. Loose; dissipated; lewd. [Colloq.] Syn. -- Merry; gleeful; blithe; airy; lively; sprightly, sportive; light-hearted; frolicsome; jolly; jovial; joyous; joyful; glad; showy; splendid; vivacious.
Wonder when they will update the definition to include homosexuals as if the public hasnt already?
I feel the SAME EXACT way.
Couldn't they find a better word?
What better word to describe something extremely silly than gay? Ive seen Sex in the City. Homos are hilarious.
For alot of you its just a habit to say it. I get it but why not use another word like thats so straight? lol
And as for the teenager comment, I've probably just met the wrong type of teens to say that. I know, its bad to generalize and I'm in the wrong here too. Calling you a pickle wouldn't offend anyone, assuming pickles don't have feelings.
Oh well, at least zeebo phillips agrees with me. :)

we all know what the word gay means, maybe the reason people say something is gay when it's stupid is because they despize gay people and would like to turn the word gay or homosexual as a slang way to put things down??Quote:

You could be gay without ever coming into contact with a guy...it's just attraction, the same way straight guys are attracted to girls.
I agree....there are better words to use...but it doesn't bother me personally.
I just laugh at the person using it when they do.
I used to say that shit back in middle school, I'll admit, but I've cut it out because it's really stupid. It's really no better than saying "That's so Asian!" or "That's so Jewish!" Have some fucking respect.
HAHAHAHAQuote:

They wouldn't...Quote:

...but what would be the point of a gay guy acting like a woman...if the other guy is interested in men....it doesn't really make sense which is why I dont think what you said is true
Some straight guys act more like women than gay guys
the majority of gay people are not even stereotyplicaly gay
It's just about attraction and feelings dude....you don't need to suck dick or get bum fucked to be gay...it's just there wether you accept it as who you are or not.
I hope that kinda answered your question....and hope you understand a little bit more about sexuality now lol
And im glad I seem gay enough to answer your questions...it's rather amusing :)
My point is that they are all inborn traits. Nobody chooses to be an Asian or a Jew or a gay or a fetal alcohol syndrome baby, so how can you justify making fun of them? That's so fetal alcohol syndrome baby of you!Quote:

Most of the time I just think it's kids with their usual fads/crazes over using a particular word - to excess, just for effect. But maybe it's just a cultural oil spill from the realm of teh L33t HaXxor f4gs on teh internet omfg!! +1+1 ;) .
97% of my school uses 'gay' to describe anything bad/uncool/stupid etc. I used to when I was like, 10, but then realised how ridiculously stupid it is and stopped. Every time I overhear someone say something like that, I can't help but interject with "yeah it's really homosexual isn't it:rolleyes: Grow up."
And then I wonder why nobody likes me. haha :thumbsup:
I like you man , I like anyone who has a reasonable level of maturity and has the guts to stand up in a crowd and say "man you guys are all idiots".Quote:
