This post is all about GAY

[Alobar]

I'm one of the people who use the word "gay" all the time when describing stuff negatively. "that movie was so gay" "dude, dont be so gay" etc etc. The arguments by several posters trying to convince jakethebake not to use the word anymore are very well put and make alot of sense, and make me want to change this aspect of myself.

However, I also agree with jakethebake, why should I stop doing something I do, just because people get all offended easily. I think Clark also hits the nail on the head in the avatar thread when he says "If there was a better word, I'd use that". I think thats the problem Im facing, is that there is no good synonym for the words "negative" meaning. There are just some things that are effing GAY. Even still tho, I think I have been persuaded to stop using that word, the bad outweighs the good, I will miss it tho /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Why hasnt the homosexual community started using some other word tho, since it obviously has such a big negative conotation attached to it. much the same way that the black community has several times changed the PC word to describe their "race".

All the gay people I know use the words gay to describe things all the time, they also use the word [censored] a lot to insult other gay people.

Also, from talking with them about the use of the word gay, they don't seem to mind too much that non gay people say things like "that movie was so gay"

Your new schtick is incredibly unfunny...partly because you're just not funny, and partly because you're like the 100th person to try it.

The word doesn't seem offensive to me, but I think "lame" has a pretty close feel to its meaning. Also "retarded".

I agree, it is tough finding a word that fits the bill. I try to use "lame" instead. You can spice it up with a Simpsons reference, such as "pretty lame, Milhouse".

Why use somebody's orientation to describe something you find disagreeable when you can liken it to the mentally challenged?

BRILLIANT!

I use retarded all the time. Sometimes I do feel bad and think to myself "what if this person's kid is a retard?". Does not stop me, but at least I think about it.
