What is ghey? Why is ghey any more appropriate than calling something gay? Ghey is a poor spelling of gay. Gay is not a synonym for stupid.

ggmae · November 2009

Ghey, or the incorrect usage of the word "gay," is just plain stupid in my book.

MeaghanandMichael · November 2009

It is douchebaggery in action.

RachNRich · November 2009

Where does this stem from, Night? Did I miss something today by spending my time being studious and attending faculty senate meetings and such....?

Night_Sprite · November 2009

A few knotties I normally like really well have used it. I hate it. It drives me absolutely bonkers. I just saw it again and had to comment.

RachNRich · November 2009

It instantly made me think of those "that's so gay" commercials--which I think are fantastic. Unfortunately, I still say "gay" sometimes--just like I still say "retarded" sometimes--despite an honest effort not to. Shun me if you must

It doesn't matter how it is spelled, it is inappropriate.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · November 2009

It's as bad or worse than calling something retarded. My brother used to use "that's so gay" all the time circa age 16 or so. Several comments along the lines of "You mean your English paper is attracted to English papers of the same gender?!" plus a hefty dose of maturity and he stopped.

tidetravel · November 2009

Yeah. DH and his friends use it ALL THE TIME. To the point where, apparently, I have also picked it up. Unfortunately, I also have no filter, so that led to a really awkward incident with our flaming dance instructor on the last day of ballroom dance classes. Yeah. It sucked.

It doesn't offend me and I am half gay.

SwedishChick2011 · November 2009

I picked up "ghey" from lala. I am a huge abuser of the word "gay." DH and I say it all.the.time. It doesn't mean I don't like gay people. I know it's really not appropriate, but I just can't help it. Sorry.

I love that you are half gay. Is it on your mom or dad's side?

RachNRich · November 2009

[i]It doesn't offend me and I am half gay.[/i] I love you ricks!

LesPaul · November 2009

according to urbandictionary.com: a derivation of gay meaning lame. meant to be non-offensive to individuals of a homosexual persuasion. "That coffee cup is broken. How ghey."That's just stupid. and not non-offensive.

ricksang · November 2009

Hmmmm, Cew, I'd have to dig up my family tree. Buy me a membership to geneology.com?

ricksang · November 2009

I love you too!

RachNRich · November 2009

I also love your devious cat. He reminds me of my own devious cat. Only he's orange.

ricksang · November 2009

He is very very bad, but I love him. He's my baby.

I like to say stuff that is not politically correct. Everybody's so uptight about everything these days. Sometimes people just have to lighten up. I know that different people have different "hot buttons," though. For example, if someone says something demeaning about women, I get pretty steamed about it, because I'm passionate about women's rights.

SwedishChick2011 · November 2009

So basically what I'm trying to say is that I'm a hypocrite.

[Deleted User] · November 2009

I am not offended easily. My only hot button is being called fat.

sucrets4 · November 2009

On another note,You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they're being retarded.

ricksang · November 2009

Thanks Cew!

sucrets4 · November 2009

Dammit, cew, stop being such a ghey, fat, retard.

ricksang · November 2009

Sucrets DED!

RachNRich · November 2009

Oh snap, cew. Sucrets just let you have it.

sucrets4 · November 2009

ang - my half gayness luvs you.

[Deleted User] · November 2009

Dammit, cew, stop being such a ghey, fat, retard.I rarely laugh out loud at anything, but this did the trick. Ben just asked me what I was laughing at. If it didn't have the "ghey" word, which bugs people, it would be my new sig quote.

sucrets4 · November 2009

(I really hope that people recognize my first 2 replies as quotes from The Office. Only my slam on cew was original.)

ricksang · November 2009

Awesome
