    What right did the homosexual populace have to hijack the word "gay"? P.G. Wodehouse turns in his grave, when it's used to describe anything but a carefree, happy person. Shame on you.

      I use gay as an insult when I'm trying to sound like an idiot. Works rather well.

      I don't think it's particularly offensive, and neither does my gay brother, who generally follows the movement of wanting to get the gay community to take hold of the word and strip it of its offensive qualities.

          I don't.

          Edit: Uh... for reasons completely unrelated to his homosexuality, that is.

            Actually, I made a concious effort to stop using "gay" as a standin for "stupid" and stuff like that.

            No need to insult people for no reason.

              Yeah, insulting people for no reason is gay.

                  Do you mean gay as in happy, gay is in lame, or gay is in I like to have sex with other men?

                  See, the problem with that word is it's too confussing.

                  Unless he meant all three

                      "gay" as an insult is offensive because of its very origin. It's no coincidence that the people who use it as an insult are usually homophobes.

                        I agree with Asher, and think that the rest of you are complete idiots.

                            Look, kids calling stupid stuff "gay" started, in my reccollection in the early 90s, at which point the overwhelming usage of the word "gay" was to signify homosexuals.

                            The context of the innovation of "gay" meaning dross obviously points to its origin as a negative attitude toward homosexuals. Homosexuals are crap therefore calling something homosexual implies that it's crap as well.
