When you say that's so gay, do you realize what yo

Mon Sep 7, 2009, 9:09 PM
  • Mood: Spidey Sense
Yes, as a matter of fact I do.

I am sure you have all seen that commercial on television that says exactly what my subject title says. So here goes a rant about how I feel about it.

<rant> I am not saying, "that's homosexual." I am using the term gay in the same way that many other words in the English language have adapted a new meaning. The word gay means:

1. Having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music.
2. Bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments.
3. Given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season.
4. Licentious; dissipated; wanton: The baron is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies.
5. Homosexual.
6. Of, indicating, or supporting homosexual interests or issues: a gay organization.
–noun
7. A homosexual person, esp. a male.
–adverb
8. In a gay manner.

The original meaning of the word meant happy. Plain and simple. So you gay people, should I be just as pissed that you have turned the word into a derogatory meaning? Hell no. That is part of the English language. To change and adapt words to new meanings.

Fag by definition means:

1. To tire or weary by labor; exhaust (often fol. by out): The long climb fagged us out.
2. British. to require (a younger public-school pupil) to do menial chores.
3. Nautical. to fray or unlay the end of (a rope).
–verb (used without object)
4. Chiefly British. to work until wearied; work hard: to fag away at French.
5. British Informal. to do menial chores for an older public-school pupil.
–noun
6. Slang. a cigarette.
7. A fag end, as of cloth.
8. A rough or defective spot in a woven fabric; blemish; flaw.
9. Chiefly British. drudgery; toil.
10. British Informal. a younger pupil in a British public school required to perform certain menial tasks for, and submit to the hazing of, an older pupil.
11. A drudge.

Fag means cigarette, did you get that? Do you get pissed off when someone says "that's retarded?" No. Why? Because it is not calling something "a mentally handicapped person." The statement is the same as saying "that's stupid." It is part of the English language to have multiple definitions for a word or statement.

So, to answer the question of that stupid commercial on television...

When you say "that's so gay," do you realize what you say?

Yeah, I know exactly what I'm saying. And that commercial is gay, stupid, retarded, and mis-informational to everyone. Why don't you educate everyone instead of trying to tell them they are stupid for using slang. Because that is exactly what the statement "that's gay," is. If you are going to piss and moan because someone says "that's gay," then you need to start yelling at every person out there that uses the term "nigga." Every person that says "cracka, cracker, gook, beaner, brownie, raghead..." Hell, any of these words: [link]

Go ahead and check that link, this journal can wait while you read every slur there. When you get done, come back here and finish reading.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, there were more there than you thought.

Nigga and nigger are two completely different words, but if you are going to get pissed because I said "that's gay," than don't get pissy with me because you said "what's up mah nigga?" Because that is just as offensive. If you want to bitch and whine that "that's gay" is derogatory, than you need to start complaining about everything else that can be considered just ass offensive.

More than 50% of the English language was CREATED from slang.

Are you going to yell at every teenager out there that wears their pants hanging off their ass? No? Why not? The original meaning behind that "fashion trend" was to signify that a prison inmate was someone's bitch.

Not every black person out there is your "brother."
Just because someone lives in or near Detroit, does not make them "ghetto" nor do they live in the "ghetto."
Not everyone who wears black is "emo."
Not all New Yorkers are pricks.
Not all gamers are nerds/geeks.
Not all college graduates are smart.
Not all Asians are terrorists of Alcaida.
Not everyone on the Internet cares if you are leaving and never coming back (it's the Internet, you're coming back).
(Believe me, I could keep going)

And the best one of all...

You ready for it?

NOT EVERY FURRY IS A BUTT FUCKING HORN BALL LOOKING TO SCREW ANYTHING WITH A TAIL!

Grow the fuck up and stop telling me that "that's gay" is such a wrong, horrible and derogatory statement! </rant>

I need to stop now, I get a headache every time I see those stupid commercials and I need to go to bed.

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak.
