Thread Name: BS: Why gay, and not Gay ?
Subject: RE: BS: Why gay, and not Gay ?
"Gay" is morphing again -- among certain young persons, it means "stupid" or "bad". For instance one might say the high school football game has been cancelled, and the other might say, "That's gay." They're not talking about sexuality at all, just using the word as a synonym for "bad".

How I hate it when words change meanings. I even misuse perfectly good words like "hijack" to describe how I feel about it.
