Gay as Paint is a bygone term that originally was used to describe something that had been painted in bright vivid colors (when gay meant bright, vivacious and sparkling before its association with homosexuals). Thus, to be gay as paint meant something was as "gay (bright) as paint...made it possible"
Jacqueline Onassis has been quoted using that term to describe Truman Capote. In a conversation she had with Joan Kennedy, the latter asked if Capote was gay... Jackie replied, "He's so gay, he's gay as paint." By then the term had morphed to describe flamboyant homosexuals in a tongue-in-cheek nod to the reframing of gay as a homosexual term.

Get the Gay-nod mug.Someone who mooches rides off people, because they are too lazy to get there license, they doesn't appreciate others opinions and believes the world revolves around them ; usually is a male that tends to like male celebrities or athletes, and you know he rides the wave
The gay parrot won't fuck off, he just expects rides from others without paying for gas; chirping and shit as he takes the aux so he can play his favorite person, Drake. What a gay parrot, am I right?
