Dude, you're like......totally GAY *frantic laughter*

I look at it like this.......

gay meant happy.........then gay meant homosexual............now gay also means something that is odd in a bad way, not necissarily meaning it engages in sodomy.

words change over time.....

I hope this word doesn't offend anybody here but I'm going to type it anyway......

the word ****** once meant less than a man, a piece of property........now the word ****** is used as a friendly greeting by a large percentage of the black population of America.........they use it in every day life....in movies......in songs.......on television......

they have effectively created a new meaning to the word...........to now have 2 definitions.............much like gay, it can mean homosexual........or odd in bad way..........the two don't have to be related. I'm sure a black person who calls his friend his ****** does not mean that his friend is less than a man, nothing more than a piece of property to be owned by white men.

i don't remember using this kind of gifs...(if i did i'm sorry)
generally they're just plain stupid. and it only shows the level (or to be more exact: the lack of it) of the person who posts such stuff 😬

Yes Evil Deads right.....

You as a white man go into a room filled with black people and say that word in a friendly manner. Hope you have 911 on speed dial 😛

But, that would imply that only gay guys can call other gay guys "gay". I mean, if I walked into a black bar and shouted..."what up my niggas?!"..I doubt the people there would saythat I was using the term correctly.

i'm guilty of using the word "gay" to describe something unusually stupid and lame, or dorky. however i dont think "thats homosexual", and anyone that knows me, knows im cool with and respect anyone who's different, and is a good person. (evil liberal)
i guess its just a product of conditioning...thats the word that pops in my head when i cant find the words to describe something intensly dorky. and although it may come off as homophobic, its not intended to. i guess i should find another word though....any suggestions?

Well that'S what he's saying..the word was split up........it has two meanings now....

Yep, that's pretty much my problem as well. And it really bothers me. And even though the reason might not be homophobic in nature, it sounds like it, so i'm trying to stop.

But you/and him are suggesting (in your wording) that one group of people use it and it's automatically an insult, and some other group of people use it and it's just "hey man".

but thats the problem. you cant think of another word, can you? i cant either. and sometime we NEED a good word. when i whack my thumb with a hammer, saying "GOSH GEE WILLACKERS!!!!!" just isnt going to cut it. i need to say "F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". in certain situations we need a word to aleave the pain, be it physical or mental.

i need a word for that which is uber-dorky. one which sums up my disgust. i NEED it. so whats it to be?

Actually saying "That guy is such a n00b" makes you look dorky yourself. Hmm.....so......i don't know. When i realize i'm about to say "gay" i quickly improvise. Like...."Dude.....you look.......iredeemably stupid" ...... "If you were to enter a stupid looking competition, they'd say "Sorry, no professionals" ". So.....i don't think i can come up with a word to replace "gay" 🙁

~wickerman~

oh by no means was I equating the two terms........gay and nigger...........I was merely making a comparison only in which each word now seems to carry two different definitions, completely unrelated to each other.

Here's the solution Wicker Man............

feel free to keep using the term "gay" freely..........just make sure to follow it up with, "not that there's anything wrong with that"...........

P.S. glad to see you back from one of your sabaticals........

i admit i use it. i try to be more mature but i have my faults.

that's because you're gay............

not that there's anything wrong with that.

was the long space really needed?
