It was pretty much par for the course when I was at secondary school, tbh.. 93/94 onwards at least...kay wrote:It's just a dick, not like you don't see one every day (unless of course you're horribly overweight and can't actually see your dick, in which case I apologise). Tasteless cringeworthy penis gags are class.
Not to dig up the can of worms again, but I find it interesting that there seems to be a consensus that the use of "gay" as discussed here to describe something that "isn't going well, is shit, is meh, etc" is something that has been around for a very long time. It hasn't. Or at least I don't recall it being used much in that way prior to 2000. And back then they used "ghey" (which might signify that the originators of the term were indeed trying to get away with using the term as an oblique insult). Although I suppose a lot of you have grown up with its usage in this manner so it might seem like it's been around forever.
There are much better synonyms around though, saying gay isn't necessarily offensive, but it is pretty weak*, dude (to be read in the voice of Eric Cartman)
*I apologise to anyone who has suffered bullying as a result of being physically weak. It's a pain I live with everytime I try and move furniture.
