Comment on That’s so gay. by Shane

Actually I take a broader view. Fifty years ago gay meant happy and colourful. The homosexual community co-opted it to brand them in a more positive light. Now it is being appropriated by young people to mean lame (but in an mild way, seems to be used for things that try and fail to be cool). In another generation it will probably be a shade of orange. Ask the young people about how they are using the word and they will swear blind that the lame/gay and the homo/gay are completely different senses of the word. English is full of other words with situationally defined meaning, and we don’t get upset about them.

Is it even possible to pull off a loud and vulgar “duh!” and my best sarcastic slow round of applause I can muster at the same time?
Reading news like this makes me want to at least attempt it.
Couldn’t we have some badly photoshopped bonus secret photos of Alfie Langer’s naked drunk dance instead?

Words do not suffice…….your brilliance grows more dazzling every year dahlink!
Where did you find this stuff? Makes you wish we were still in Canberra and could dress up to go to the open day for inspection. I don’t know if I would be more tempted to steal a golden cherub or sneak another one in to add to the collection……

Comment on Godwin Gretch leaves distastefully decorated domicile by Cat

Hmmm. Far too much white. It seems that he’s taken individual pieces (some of which I’d personally like to acquire) and stuffed them all into a house that can’t accommodate it all. It be cluttered, says I. Has that pseudo-euro trash feel to me. Faux opulence to detract from an obvious need to compensate for … god knows what.
