Gay.
Gay.
Gay.
What does that mean to you? Now, some will read that and think "Yes, this site really is rather happy!!". If you do that, you are deluding youself. Gay hasn't meant happy for nigh on… fuck knows, it's a hell of a long time. Do an image search for gay, and you won't get pictures of smiling people. You'll get… well, have a look yourself.

You see? I'm sure some of those people are happy, but let's face it. Sodomy and happy are not synonymous. Except for in a rather fucked up thesauruse, but that's a price you have to pay for buying shitty kit.
But anyway, back to the point. Gay is way too overused. It's becoming almost as used as "fuck" in the lexicon of those with a vocabulary equal to their IQ. I heard in a sentence yesterday "Fucking gay cock sucking fags". Now, that sentence sure conveys alot of meaning, but does it really score high on literary merit? I wouldn't say so. You definitely wouldn't get a good mark in GCSE english.
Look at it, it references homo-sexuality three times in a five word sentence. Now, there is a good variation in vocabulary, and even a sort of semi-rhyme going on, but does it really do the language proud? We have at our command one of the most beautiful, expressive languages ever known, and we have people using it to chat about bum lovin' more than half the time.
It's somewhat shocking. Now- "Bastardised badger wankers" or "Bleeding piss streaked kitten slappers" are far more intelligent sentences. They reference far more niche activites, besitlaity, scat, S&M and kittens, and the vocbaulary is much more rounded. There's even a nice three syllable word in there.
So, less of the gay, more of the multi syllabic cat slapping, please.
