stupid, sophomoric, reflexive response used by countless dull witted boobs who, in their many years on this planet, have yet to increase their vocabularies much less their minds (or hearts).
Me : Awwwww ... Chris Cornell of Soundgarden was found dead yesterday. Mannnnn ... (sorrow)
Dipshit Standing Next To Me : huh, that's gay
Me : WHA ? WTF - are you still in high school or somethin' ? That's your response ?
Dispshit Standing Next To Me : Eat Me
Me : No - up yours, fucktard. Guess YOU won't be getting a genius grant from the MacArthur fellowship anytime soon.
Some people say "that's gay" or "you're gay" as an insult to heterosexual people or other events. If you are one of those people, brace yourself, you're in for a shock.
"Gay" isn't a synonym to: stupid, weird, uncool, wrong, sucks, stinks, or any other insult like that.
Saying "that's gay" is basically saying "Look at me! I'm ignorant, insensitive and close-minded!"
The same goes for "retarded"
Guy 1: "My parents grounded me. Ugh"
Guy 2: "Man! That's gayyyyy!"
Girl: "Idiots."
