Yeah, I don't think people here care too much about making fun of gays. They are just more disappointed in the fact that calling someone gay as an insult quit being funny after the first time any of us have ever heard it.
I once made people chuckle when I called someone a male genitals-sucker.
I was prolly around 9 years old, dunno exactly, maybe younger. So I'm sittin at the counter watching the telly with the 'rents and someone did something bad to the good guy in whatever show we were watching. So I proceed to say "what a male genitals-sucker" and I notice my ma and pa fighting back laughter. I had no idea why, I had called people "suckers" plenty. It wasn't until a few years later I actually found out what it meant. I was sooo embarassed.
Pretty sure the only reason I got away with it was because they knew I had no idea what it meant. Weird all the same though, mom frowned upon me saying stuff like "ain't". Needless to say, but I've become a black sheep of sorts to the family. It's not ONLY because I post on this board FWIW.
