Gay

The word gay is an informal way to say homosexual or to describe that someone is glad. It is most commonly used today though (mainly by Pre-Teens and younger teenagers) to describe something that is stupid or weird. That term is generally used as a mild and nonoffensive insult to someone or something or an unfortunate occurence.

Ex:

Bob: Dammit, I got another detention today for being late to class.

Carl: That sucks. That is really gay.

Working Class

The working class are people that have to work jobs that are either monotonous and demeaning or dangerouns and dirty. Many of them work with little payment or high job insecurity in assembly lines and on highways, but some make more money than their upper-middle class white collar bretheren. I've met some people that are blue collar, yet live in a large house next to doctors and businessmen in a subdivision, retired at 50, and drive new cars. Many of them have a similar standard of living to the middle class and after years of work (depending on career), get above-median incomes, meaning that with two income-earners could have six-figure incomes. Unfortunately, that is only a small percentage. A lot of them loose their jobs, homes, and end up in poverty.

The working class are the muscle of america.

Gary, Indiana

Gary is a town in NW Indiana named after the founding chairman of U.S. steel, Elbert H. Gary. It was once a nice middle class town with many steel mills and small businesses but ran downhill mainly because of urban decay. Now it has a 25% poverty rate and more than twice as much crime as the US average. Many great people are from Gary, such as the Jackson family, many NFL stars, aswell as actors. Now, Gary remains little more than a poor derelict city. If you happen to drive through Gary, you will notice that it looks more like a post apocalyptic town. NWI locals generally give it the nickname "Scary, Indiana."

You can't drive through Gary, Indiana without seeing bars on windows.
