Cal Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 ...that aside, Ricky Sappleton is a magnificant creature !!
Flynny Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 I've explained earlier - it concerns common usage as in headlines etc but it remains clear that few in today's society few appear to regret the intellectual abduction and anal rape of the once cheering word "gay". Few may even use the word "gay" in its former sense because it would now quite likely be ambiguous.The words homosexual and heterosexual rarely appear in such as Sunday newspaper headlines and neither have any tint of sordidity whatsoever. That's because neither are used except to be factually descriptive - they are too big anyway for most newspaper headlines. They are not used to convey types of crime, a form of bullying or to describe a sexually motivated attack. You've explained fuck-all. The word 'gay' is used in headlines, hence it's sordid? "The" better look out! Languages evolve all the time. Words take on new meanings all the time. It's documented right the way through recorded english. Of course no-one uses 'gay' in its old sense, as its primary meaning now describes a homosexual rather than a state of being happy and carefree. Don't see the problem. Unless you want to start a campaign against the use of the word "Polite" to mean well-mannered, or something. Because there HAS being a shocking anal rape of the word that few appear to regret. Few would use the word to mean "shiny" today.

Daggers Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 Previous examples of your wisdom and judgement:Louis Dodds is the greatest striker in the world. Emile Heskey should play at centre back. Parking attendants are like the Gestapo. Once the 'evil' Chinese start eating fish, we'll all die. It's a plot to kill us all. Gay is synonymous with sordid. Filth. Black people are like apes. So does your above bullsh it bother me? No - put frankly, it would concern me more, if you did rate me! You left out my favourite: Cats and dogs could teach us a thing or two if only we would listen as they possess powers that we have long since forgotten Oh...and the dictionary definition of 'gay' was a right proper laugh too
Flynny Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 You left out my favourite:Cats and dogs could teach us a thing or two if only we would listen as they possess powers that we have long since forgotten I honestly just spat yogurt all down my t-shirt. It better be true. Where and when was this?

Flynny Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 He did say that a couple of weeks ago. Times like this the search engine being down is really annoying.
Daggers Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 I honestly just spat yogurt all down my t-shirt. It better be true. Where and when was this? It is burnt upon my soul as one of the funniest things I have ever read, I'm amazed in didn't register with others in the same way. It was some old shite thread in Gen Chat over the summer.

Wasn't a thread about the cat that predicted people's deaths was it?
Daggers Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 Wasn't a thread about the cat that predicted people's deaths was it? Could well be it.
Flynny Posted 14 August 2007 Posted 14 August 2007 Could well be it. http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.ph...st&p=691113 Not as good as you made it sound. Real shame.

Still, I do continue to maintain that Thracian gets most of his opinions from his dog...especially anything relating to Porter, Heskey or Dodds.
