Title: gay shit Post by: dream3R on January 15, 2016, 10:22:10 PM I was once at a rest area on a public toilet when another patron brushed his leg against mine under the divider. I believe this is some sort of signal to initiate a homosexual encounter. This thread surpasses that in terms of gay. In what context it's been a word twisted. It used to mean funny. or ur having a homo day Title: gay shit Post by: dream3R on January 15, 2016, 10:23:53 PM noob it

Now please, keep your feet on your own side. bad day, noted squire I just suggested moving a useless reverse engineering thread no biggie. The original meaning is my day to day interpretation.... that's gay(shit) But in the uk we reverse meanings a lot. sorry OTTitle: gay shit Post by: adam- on January 16, 2016, 03:54:44 AM I agree.
This thread is so shit = This thread is so gay. Because apparently, gay is shit. Shit stabbing, I guess. Title: gay shit Post by: dream3R on January 16, 2016, 04:21:06 AM I agree.

Sad I looked this up and its in Oxford lol http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/gay Title: gay shit Post by: nyet on January 16, 2016, 11:03:23 AM Sad I looked this up and its in Oxford lol http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/gay uh what the fuck? You had to look it up? Why? Title: Re: gay shit Post by: dream3R on January 16, 2016, 11:26:06 AM uh what the fuck? You had to look it up? Why? I didn't have to look it up but the term has been changing in the UK with younger generations, I wondered if Oxford had included it's newer defs as an alt meaning that's all. Languages change all of the time. Title: Re: gay shit Post by: nyet on January 16, 2016, 11:31:48 AM Ah. I see.
Just couldn't figure it out, since modern dictionaries typically include colloquial meanings in a pretty timely fashion. In this case, "gay" has been in use as a negative for a very, very long time.

You got it, I hear it every day "dammit that's gay!" in my Dept. I wouldn't say a very long time as you say it's an old word, and still it wasn't a negative connotation in my book, it used to mean fun and bouncy or something originally then was used to describe theater drag folks, then blah, evolved.
