That's Gay.

Bar stool, or fucksticks, or even horse fister or fek !
Dog rimmer is another personal favourite.

When a vending machine takes my money, i'll usually punch it a few times and say something like "god damn fucking bullshit fucking piece of shit!"

That will go on for about 30 secs, all over $1 that I really don't care about.

Partially reminds me of:

Honestly, I tend to use "thats gay" only when Im playing online, and even then I dont mean to.


Get killed by a random grenade? gay.

Have my team-mates half-way across the map when I get killed by a level 43 Badmotha Maniac in Borderlands? Fucking Gay.


But to replace "thats gay" I have varying degrees of "Fuck" and "Shit" to use instead, with emphasis on how pissed I actually am at the moment.

Dammit. :/

I wish people would stop posting this. The Carlin Cheer did not say anything about piss.

Oh, and on topic; My word's "dammit."

I used the term all of once, then immediately felt guilty. Mainly because I usually only hear it from the mouths of ignorant stoner douchebags that I hate.

I prefer a good "Bugger all" myself. Or, thanks to Quentin Smith of Rock, Paper, Shotgun, "JESUSING SHIT!"

I generally don't, the word Gay doesn't mean homosexual anyway, it's a slang term (it also got used to describe prostitutes at one point), the actual meaning of the word is "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy" which are hardly feelings that cause me to express my annoyance or irritation.

That people should get annoyed that a word has new meanings after they themselves change the words common usage in the first place don't have a leg to stand on if they argue along those lines.

As curse words goes it's fairly lame all the best ones are 4 letter monosyllabic words, you really can't make "Gay" sound agressive, in the same way you are forced to by words like F*** or C***

Words don't matter, meaning and context do.
If you're not a homophobe then you're not a homophobe, so it doesn't matter.

Words always matter. Your person feelings on gay people don't matter, if you're saying "that's gay", you're not only associating being gay with whatever the bad thing you're describing it as, you're also saying to everyone else that it's ok to describe this group of people negatively, and that it's ok to use language like that.

You've said this better than I ever could, so I'm just going to quote this. I think we as a culture should move away from using gay to be synonymous with stupid - if something is stupid or frustrating, use those words. We have such an awesome vocabulary, why sully it with using words improperly (and potentially being hurtful to those individuals who are gay and don't like their identity being associated with something that is negative)?

It was definatly something I used to say alot but for whatever reason it soon went away as I became more fluent in swearing.

If that was true, every black person who uses the N-word is racist...

Without wishing to sound patronizing to them, I'm a lot better spoken than most of my friends, and I hear them using language like that all the time. However, it doesn't bother me because their language is just an insight into how they've been brought up, and I know that underneath it all none of them are actually homophobic. For one thing, I'm bi, and I've never had any abuse from them (beyond occasional jokes, but the key word there being 'jokes')

Hm, I think there's a difference between being racist and reclaiming a racist word. I don't necessarily approve of the reclaiming and casual use of the word, but in the end, I'm not a member of that group, and if it's empowering for some individuals to use it in appropriate (non-harmful or derogatory) contexts, then by all means.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

"Fuck", "shit", or "damn" (or a combination of the three) usually do the trick for me. Or "mother..." also works. I don't really use "gay" as an expletive that much when I have words that do the job so much better.

 

[Still Life]

I've actually trained myself not to use 'gay' like that anymore. I usually just say, "That's dumb," "Shit," or "BLUBLUGYUH."

Same here. I just don't like the thought of taking a term that is commonly used in a derogatory way by a lot of people.

 

[The Funslinger]

I just yell medical Jargon or specifically scientific terms. in order to confuse all involved parties.

That or I yell "CURSES!!" to the world (literally, the word "Curses")

bless you, sir! *moonwalks out, top hat perched jauntily atop my head, twirling my cane as I go.*

How rude! "nothing (I'm totally atheist, agnostic at times but mostly committed, being a schizoid causes slight changes in that belief sometimes) bless you, sir!"

And then you just leave?
METACARPAL SIR!!
METACARPAL!!

(just kidding, but still, bless me for what?)

Confusing people with jargon (although I know what metacarpal means) and above all, using "CURSES!" in general conversation.

Edit: Yeah, I'm an atheist, too.

 

[Da pyro man 999]

in any of those situations, i tend to swear repeatidly

Then I thank you most heartily sir...
Atheist five! *lifts hand*

 

[Thumper17]

I say "Hurt" or "Hurtbag"

"Thats so hurt dude."

"Fucking hurtbag man."

And to make this post relevant, I shall link one of George Takei's highly amusing gay rights videos!

Spoiler: funny, and it gets the point across!

Aw, hell, I'll throw in this one, too:

 

[Hijax]

I say balls, pronounced "BAUWLZ".

 

[SuperNova221]

I've never really gotten into the habit of it, which is odd given the area of Scotland I was brought up in. I do however intentionally use it from time to time to time just to confuse people as it's so out of character with my usual manner of speaking. As for actually saying "That's gay." I've never had a problem with it. It does seem to be dieing out though.

 

[Matt-Sama]

I do say that's gay and stuff alot. Most of the time I go BLOODY HELL.
