As I expected, this thread has become 95% whining . Pussies.

I like referring to things I don't like as "gay," because let's face it.... gay people are all wrong. However, my friend Marc and I have decided to take the burden off homosexual men, so now when we don't like something, we call it "lesbo," i.e. "man, that show's totally lesbo." Spread the word.

What I see here is a disapproval of the evolution of language. I can't tell you how many words I've read that were popular 300-500 years ago that I think are COMPLETELY lesbo. "Spake" instead of "spoke," for instance. I hate it. Completely freakin' normal at the time, though. Before the English language was really solidified, nobody cared how you spelled a word, so long as they knew what it was. So, you run across the same word spelled like 25 different ways in the same time period. If they read our stuff, they'd wet their knickers.

Personally, I don't care what you like, because chances are, nobody's gonna like what we like 300 years from now. I do admit, however, that I don't like much Ebonics / thug-speak. Though it may be a cultural varible or whatever, I just call it mass laziness / lack of edumacation / overexposure to Snoop Dogg.
