Why do people act like words can only have one meaning? Most people know that when someone says, "Dude, that's gay!" they don't mean "Dude, that's homosexual!" so why do they always feel the need to get offended? The meaning of words change all the time. It's no different when people used to say, "That's bad." meaning good.
The funny part is that I say it all the time around friends and others in public - including certain indiduals who are not straight and they don't care. In fact some of them use the phrase as well. But on the internet it's like instant offense. People on the net are so uptight. Anyway, just a tiny little question/rant due to the fact that I've actually been trying to use the phrase less lately because people seem to love to overreact but I let it slip on another board and someone instantly jumped to the offense.
