Gay hasn't been used for happy since before your dad was born.
Think I'm done with this forum for a while. The bullshit ganging up on somebody for an opinion is fucking ridiculous. Now if I said hey guys I go around saying this to gays, then I expect this kind of horseshit but this was on some progressive virtue signal type shit where everybody just wanted to tell me I was ignorant just because I didn't listen to the word police.

Just read through this thread. Wow!

Yes, I still use the word Gay in it's original meaning. Ha! It amuses me that some don't even know it had an original meaning.

Now the PC hawks are bashing a young fellow over it. Not good at all.
 
And you know most people...

Just know that your opinion regarding the use of the word isn't popular. And just like it might be your "free speech" to say it, I use mine to speak out against it.
He's right that people are fake as fuck. You know I believe in white privilege to a very large degree but you have to know that bazillions of people pretend they do and then talk about lazy black people behind their backs.

I try to be logical about it but it's hard. I see how many more black people are at the grocery store on the first and get pissed but then I think if fuckin crackers would give them a job.......

I hope you understand what I'm saying, that some of my thoughts may seem racist and some of them very accepting and understanding.

I just mean we all need to be honest and not pretend things are better than they really are.

The times I met you I thought you were very gay.

As I recall, I think I was.

I just finished reading a Book titled the Professor and the Mad Man. The subject of the book was the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary.
About how they went about documenting all the nuances of every word in the English language that have come to be through the centuries.

They did not have the purpose though, of defining the meaning to be inferred by the age of the user.

Everything evolves, especially language.
 

Yes, the evolution of the language has nearly always been by adding new word, conscripting words from other languages, or adding nuance to existing words over time.
Can't think of any other word that have been hijacked and a new meaning attached. The hijacking also prohibits using the word in it's historical meaning, with firmness of prohibition variable

If @Cippy91 were using it in its historical meaning, I doubt anyone would have had an issue in this thread. Unfortunately, however, that was not the case.
 
Someone tried tripping me last night during an indoor soccer game. I pushed him to the ground and called him a faggot :smiley-195517897341
 
And you inferred this? He said he did.
I think you missed it. He said gay "used to" mean happy, but that it meant "stupid or whatever" in the time when he grew up. He was pretty clear that he wasn't using it to mean happy.

Gay used to mean happy. Fag wasn't even a slur originally. We grew up calling our friends gay and the meaning was entirely different.
I have grown up in the time gay meant stupid or whatever and can tell you we used it and still use it

Yes they was a period of use, mostly by Hollywood where Gay was used as Happy as in half drunk or getting stupid. All the way stupid was beyond Gay.
I really don't think that is what he means, at least I would not infer this meaning.

Seems damn odd to me though, to run the kid out of here by policing words like this when we can not agree what should be inferred while at the same time rejecting what he says he implied.
 
This thread is white as fuck. Like the whitest shit ever.
 
I made a post a couple weeks ago that this place is like groundhogs day.

Can't we all just get along bruhs?
No, let's argue about a word that has multiple definitions.
