GAY!!
When used as in insult.. ;)
h4xx0r, need i say more
Counter Strike
I have to agree with you there, but not just as an insult. People who use the word as a derogitory (sp?) sense of describing something - perhaps an object, a saying, a person, something someone did, whatever, really annoy me.Quote:

I'm not bothered about political correctness or anything. I just think the use of the term "gay" to describe something displays immaturity, homophobism (so you have gay friends? cool... bet they'd love it if you started calling them "fags"), and a lack of ability to use the English language.
HOHO.
I concur with everything Theo just said. "PWNED" is just a bit of fun, "gay" is just immature and pathetic.
i have gay friends that call things gay (well.... ghey...) does that make them homophobes?
Its a maturity thing. When a townie kid ask me for "a spare fag" at the bus stop and i say i dont smoke i usualy get an insult along the lines of "your gay". Its just something kids do- often without thinking.Quote:

I get it all the time for various stupid reasons. Just makes me laugh at how pathetic it is...
No, it makes them immature, imo :)Quote:

Gay is just another word for lame. There isn't anything immature about it, it's just a widespread alternative phrase.
NS
NS, it's offensive. My mate has led me to realise how he feels when he hears it being used in a derrogatory manner, and how it offends him highly.
It's not "just another word", it may seem that way because it's so widely used today, but it's more offensive to certain groups than saying something like "that's crap" or "that's rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish".
You'd soon hear about it if it was used in a movie or film.
It really just depends on people's sensitivity as well (Im not saying that as if its a bad thing) . . . I do think after a while, things do become "just another word" - but at the same time, can be used "offensively" - as un-PC as it might be.Quote:

I used to get really offended by people calling Chinese places "chinkys", but Ive just accepted it's a commonly used word. I dont endorse it (tho I have used it in jest to take the piss), but it's there, it's not going to go away.
From dictionary.com:
Gay means "Lame"? Yeah... well done :)Quote:
Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
Given to social pleasures.
Dissolute; licentious.
When people started describing things as "gay", it's obvious that they weren't talking about the "bright or lively" meaning. They were describing something that they don't like as homosexual. How is homosexuality actually a bad thing? More to the point, how is homosexuality "Lame"?
Accepting it is as bad as using it, imo. Extreme as my statement may be, if someone accepts something that they don't agree with, what's the point in disagreeing with it in the first place? :)Quote:

Stop trying to put words in my mouth. I said "Gay" when used in this context is used as an alternative to "Lame". Oh no, it's not in the dictionary as that. Boo Hoo.Quote:

I know more gay people than straight people and none of them find it offensive.
It doesn't have anything to do with Homosexuality being Lame, it is just a term, nothing to do with it.

Didn't mean to offend you chap, I was just discussing how I saw it. Sorry.
I wasn't putting words into your mouth, I was discussing why people might use the term "gay" in a derogatory sense, and referenced it with your silly comparison to the word "lame".
Me and my friends (quite a few of which are gay) separate the 2 meanings by spellings and attatching the meanings to the different spellings:
i.e. gay = homosexual
ghey = silly, lame, stupid just a random adjective.
I think as long as you have an understanding with the people you say it around it's ok, like we dont really say it outwith our group, like i wouldnt sit down to dinner with my family and say something like "omg that's ghey!" cos they just wouldnt "get it", the same as i wouldnt say it to a complete sttranger. But within our social circle, the word "ghey" to use as an adjective is pretty much accepted.
Yes, but Gay is used in vocal too...
Do U goto anyone and say "PWNED"??? How d'ya pronouse it???
I said "ON THE NET" ... eg typed.
Over course of time you see things differently. Like when you're a kid and you got bullied, then you meet that bully in town today, he's still a dick, you feel sorry for him. It's that kind of acceptance - the kind that doesnt bother you anymore and fails to boil your blood - kinda like women. Well, except I dont feel sorry for women.Quote:

Like some other people, the gays I know dont have a problem with it. . . "so passe!" so they would say :p
IMHO - "ggkthxbye" uber geeknes required here :P
1337,
otherwise leet,
otherwise a mixture being l33t
refering to "elite"
It really must be the epiphany of geekness when the HalfLife WONID of 1337 was sold on ebay a while back for $1000
...how elite
anything ending in "0r" or generally using a combination of numbers in place of words.
"kewltok" really bugs me too, I mean, just how much time does it really save to type "u" instead of "you" etc..
i hate the way everyone adds über to the front of everything...
especially when used in conbination with elite:
"über leet man"
naaaah,,,
I really like talk like "ur" and "Pass us the saltz0r pleaz0r".. makes me laugh... laughing at and with the pple that use it.
Ir really does depend on who's using the words. Some pple can say it and it really does Pwn... some pple.. well.. it just falls flat.. cos of the way they are
Admitted though.. still pretty damn geeky :D
The geekiest word on the web is www
j00, woot, yay and huggles
what about "lol" ?
rotflmao - you have to be pretty weird to actually laugh your ass off your body
and WTF - why cant you just say what? why do u need to say F*ck?
dno m8... lolz0r
cba.....tla
TBH hacks me off the most when people don't even use it correctly! For example, oh I dunno, if someone says What printer shall I buy and someone replies with "hp tbh" :mad:
tbh hexus0rz is uber 1337 roflmfao woot wtf brb
