The word gay has maintained three main functions throughout the twentieth century, namely


(adj.) Happy, jolly.

later,

(n.) a homosexual male (and also sometimes used for a female) who is happy (gay) with thier sexual orientation.


(adj.) or (v.) to be or act gay, to do something stupid, taking the second definition as an insult, usually to a hetrosexual, especially a homophobe or one wary of homosexual men under the (might I add wrong) impression that the male wishes to bugger them.

She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes in shape no bigger than an agate stone on the forefinger of an alderman, Drawm with a team of little atomi, Over men's noses as they lie asleep. Her wagon spokes made of long spinners' legs, the cover of the wings of grasshoppers, her traces of the smallest spider web, her collars of the moonshine's wat'ry beams, her whip of cricket's bone, the lash of film, her wagoner a small gray-coated gnat, not half so big as a round little worm pricked from the lazy finger of a maid. Her chariot is an empty hazelnut, made by the joiner sqirrel or old grub, Time out o' mind the fairies' coachmakers. And in this state she gallops night by night through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love; on courtiers' knees, that dream on cur'sies straight; O'er lawyer's fingers, who straight dream on fees; O'er ladies' lips, who straight on kisses dream, Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are. Sometimes she gallops o'er a courtier's nose, and then he dreams of smelling out a suit.

Reality TV program in which five men, expert in such fields as fashion, cooking, decorating and suchlike, take on the task of improving the lifestyle and living conditions of another man; All five are homosexual and with one exception rather camp, and the makeover subject is always straight.

Although entertaining, educational and sometimes amusing, it carries the unspoken message that straight men are in the main uncouth, untidy and useless at choosing clothes and cooking.

the new boy band is just as sad as all the abandoned ones from the '90s, but disguised better as an actual band. called "emo" sometimes, also thought of as "pop-punk"-- (there's no such thing as pop punk!!!) Usually characterized by whining voices about lost Love and hipster fuck outfits, the new boy bands might be worst than the first, outright fakes in that they are in denial and won't admit their own sorry commercialism conformity.

A true "Sitting Bull" will be not only as lazy as a hog, but will also be a whiner. This person will take every opportunity to sit down that they can, and will do all they can to get out of doing their fair share of the shared work.
