i'm talking about publicly using the word "gay" as a default term for "wuss." my problem is specifically that the target is (probably) not gay. you're generally redefining a word which, let's face it, has the blatantly obvious implication of homosexuality, whether you want to play the etymology game or not, everyone knows what is implied.

And gay used to mean what I defined it as above because I took it from a dictionary. Homosexuals took it, and made it their word, we've taken it back, and are using it as we like. If homosexuals can do it, we can too.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
