gaying up
1. "Gaying up" is one of those phrases that works on the various pejorative meanings of gay, in this instance to mean screwed up or not functioning correctly to some degree. This works forwards from the traditional belief that there is something inherently messed up about homosexuality and extends the definition of 'gay' accordingly.
Therefore, to gay something up is to ruin or corrupt it, especially through socially unpleasant or malicious behaviour, and for something to become 'gayed up' is for it to work to a less than satisfactory level, especially due to faulty wiring or some other internal defect.
Of course, there is little homophobic intent in the use of these words.
2. "Gaying up" can also be used as one of those phrases that works on the stereotypical aspects of gayness. If a club, or room, or 30-minute television show, is 'gayed up', it will undoubtedly have one of the following: flashing lights, colourful streamers, loud, bassy trance music, a disco ball, leather, bondage accessories, pastel colours, Liza Minelli, some camp bastard, mincing, open Hawaian shirts, YMCA by The Village People and various other things that a more politically-correct society might associate with homosexuality and sexual liberation in its friendlier stereotyping, and the kind of things homosexuals should probably try to distance themselves from.
Similar in definition to sexed up, in that it's made spicier, but gayed up is less likely to refer to lying in political documents to cajole a country to war. A 'gayed up' dossier would probably contain copious 'oohs' and 'doesn't that sound lovely?'

1. "Fucking Hell, why did you invite Ronan Keating to my party? He's sitting around singing stupid acoustic songs, drinking Strongbow straight from the bottle, and insisting we all watch Narnia. He's totally gayed the whole thing up."
"I'm very sorry I got cut off, your majesty, but my mobile 'phone is gaying up."
2. "Join us for a gayed-up version of David Letterman, tonight, where Letterman will wear shorts and the short guy with the band will be kitted out in a gimp costume. And it'll be very colourful too, and we'll probably change the theme-tune to something slightly demeaning towards gays."

Gaying up my lawn
1. An expression used to indicate disgust with homophobic individuals' assumptions that if someone is gay they will do everything differently from a heterosexual person. Often this disgust is lost on the offending homophobe.
2. Less frequently used as a euphemism for someone who is flamboyantly gay.
Also sometimes used as "gay/ing up the lawn".

This guy called me at the lawn service business where I work. He said he had heard I was gay and wanted to prove he "ain't no homophobe". He actually asked me if I could come "gay up 'his' lawn, or whatever it is 'I' do".
Some bitch at the supermarket saw me and John holding hands. She asked us if we cuddled each other after sex. I told her I'd schedule a time to answer her question, right after I finished gaying up my lawn.
Sue: Rob, you're a homo... you'd be great at helping me pick out a dress for my date tonight!
Rob: "Love" to, Sue... But I can't. I'm committed to gaying up my lawn tonight...
Jessica: So how did it go when you came out to your mother.
Jill: It really wasn't too bad. She doesn't seem to be worried I'll be gaying up my lawn or anything.
Josh would be a lot more fun to hang out with if he wasn't constantly gaying up his lawn...

nose-gating
The act of driving slowly in front of someone, often preceded by cutting them up at a junction.
The nose-gater ususally drives at around 24.5 in a 30 zone. This can be due to a number of reasons:excessively new car (worried that air friction may scratch paintwork); old age (can't see, reaction speed gone); kids in car (irrational spawn-protecting behaviour); Micra driver (inexplicable) etc..
The opposite of tail-gating. Especially prevalent when you are trying to get somewhere in a hurry.

blind-gating
Instead of passing me cleanly, the dude was just blind-gating. Luckily, I had my mirrors set up so I could see him.
