I say 'gay' all the time, 'cept I write it "ghey". Obivously I know what it sounds like, but too bad...I use the word gay as in, "They were dancing gaily around....or Everyone is happy and gay." That conjures up an image of really cheesy nerdy stuff.....which is my intention and why I write "ghey" instead of 'gay'. And actually, if you think about it, I think that might be what a lot of people mean by it.....seriously now, how can something act like a homosexual? If I say that someone's joke is gay, I don' tmean it's somehting a gay person would say, I mean it's cheesy or horrible.

I know what I mean, I don't need to explain myself, but I hope you all can see where I'm coming from.
Co-sign this. There are many words that have several different meanings. When I say something is gay, I don't mean it's homosexual. I use this word in this way around gay people all the time and they know what I mean.
