Growing up in the 90s, we would always say things were 'gay' even though we had nothing against homosexuals. It was just the thing to say. Yeah, definitely should not have been saying that.
To add to that. A popular recess game among grade schoolers, like 10 year olds, was Smear the Queer. I can't remember the rules exactly but i think it was essentially tag but rougher.
Wow, I remember this too! Yikes
"Just try not to be too gay on the court. And by gay I mean, um, you know, not in a homosexual way at all. I mean the uh, you know, like the bad-at-sports way."
to misquote Louis CK, "I didn't even know people did that to each other. I just meant that you were annoying."
Yeh. Growing up in the 90s/early 00s. This TV show does not appeal to me? That's gay. The bus is late? That's gay. You missed a penalty playing football? Gay... Experimenting with my friend after school.? Totally just part of growing up bro
