Because that would not only be inaccurate but bigoted, mean-spirited and hate filled. You ARE a Christian, aren't you? You ARE aware of Leviticus 19:18, aren't you?
WWJD? He'd bitch-slap you back to the stone age, boy.
Hi Hitch, Love and peace to you, and to all the wonderful folks at CARM.
Do you see? That's how it's done.
Like saying "bigoted, hatefilled, bloodmongering, cuntlicking son of a whore" instead of christian? Works for me.
gay
OED gives 1951 as earliest date for slang meaning "homosexual" (adj.), but this is certainly too late; gey cat "homosexual boy" is attested in N. Erskine's 1933 dictionary of "Underworld & Prison Slang;" the term gey cat (gey is a Scot. variant of gay) was used as far back as 1893 in Amer.Eng. for "young hobo," one who is new on the road and usually in the company of an older tramp, with catamite connotations. But Josiah Flynt ["Tramping With Tramps," 1905] defines gay cat as, "An amateur tramp who works when his begging courage fails him." Gey cats also were said to be tramps who offered sexual services to women. The "Dictionary of American Slang" reports that gay (adj.) was used by homosexuals, among themselves, in this sense since at least 1920.
Rawson ["Wicked Words"] notes a male prostitute using gay in reference to male homosexuals (but also to female prostitutes) in London's notorious Cleveland Street Scandal of 1889. Ayto ["20th Century Words"] calls attention to the ambiguous use of the word in the 1868 song "The Gay Young Clerk in the Dry Goods Store," by U.S. female impersonator Will S. Hays. The word gay in the 1890s had an overall tinge of promiscuity -- a gay house was a brothel. The suggestion of immorality in the word can be traced back to 1637. Gay as a noun meaning "a (usually male) homosexual" is attested from 1971.
Gay hasn't for a long time solely had that "innocent" meaning
a perfectly normal term like gay
Gay originally meant carefree or happy. But by the 17th century, it had acquired the connotation of sexual abandonment. It re-acquired its original meaning in the 19th or early 20th century, which continued for the next half-century or so. Then it re-re-acquired its 17th century meaning, but applying only to homosexuality, as opposed to prostitution or other sexually "liberated" practices. If homosexuals knew the etymology of the word, they'd probably object to it.
If it turns you on to string together 20 words referring to explicit and controversial sexual practices, say it all you want. I'd recommend saying it behind closed doors, and the same goes for your routine with the goose necked lamp and the swivel chair and the melon.
If I ever become the ruler of a country, I will hold a huge anti gay rally, there will be burnings of rainbow flags and we will invite all the people like this and round them all up in one big happy place to celebrate how much they hate gays, then I make a list of everyone who shows... years later, in the event of world war 3, none of them are allowed into the bomb shelters. the bastards.
Because you people can't even get "their/they're/there" right.
Or "abominable". Or hyphenation. Or commas. Or joining prefixes to suffixes.
And it's wrong. And you're an asshat.
it's shorter
Kinda like Christard
