I hate it when people say "That's so gay" instead of weird or stupid. This is the definition of gay.
1. having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music.
2. bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments.
3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season.
4. licentious; dissipated; wanton: The baron is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies.
5. homosexual.
6. of, indicating, or supporting homosexual interests or issues: a gay organization.

In the definition it doesn't state that gay means weird or stupid. Saying "that's so gay" is just like saying "that's so left-handed" It's just stupid, why not say stupid? You don't have to be targeting a kind of person when you say that something is weird. I'm not gay, but I don't care if somebody is gay because he's still a normal person, he just likes guys instead of girls. What's the big deal.

Wanna know what pisses me off more? People who say that they "could" care less, when they should say that they "couldn't" care less.

Fuck means having a sexual intercourse but everyone says fuck off and fuck you, saying that's so gay is just like saying fuck off.

Does saying "That's so queer" count? I mean, queer means 'wierd'...

Gay did not always mean homosexual.
It does now.

Gay did not always refer to something as lame or uncool.
It does now.

Its language. That's how it works. Get over yourself.

Someone with enough shit that they could hold in their hands, but instead wish to wear it.

I almost forgot how much I hate fanny packs... Thanks for the reminder.

Cargo pants ftw.

I hate when little children complain about the way adults communicate, without first learning about colloquialism.

Now make me a mod so that this looks like a lock.

Gay means "joyful" originaly.
Before (talking about middle age) gay was not an insult, but a compliment. Example: Thou art gay! Which meant "You are gay", which meant "You are joyful".
After these times passed, the human being started viewing the preception of "joyful" as "homosexual", then the word "gay" changed it's meaning even in dictionaries. The word "gay" is an insult for the straight male humans.
As "gay" being an insult, the "That's so gay" the OP is prtesting about is nothing but an expression used to insult some object or living thing.
Although the OP is right about the meaning of gay and the bad use of it, it's nothing but an expression.
Look for example the word "fuck" which means "sexual intercourse" is used as an insult to somebody, like "Fucking idiot", which doesn't mean "Sexual intercoursing idiot" but more like "stupid idiot".
The expression "That's so gay" is used to give the "thing" a bigger insult than the word "stupid", and makes it a use of cursing to sound either funnier, angrier, or let's just say "more expressive".

So many damn quotes...

I agree with this, but often times enough like for when something calls a homework assignment gay.
But when someone calls somebody else gay (using it in the homosexual tense) directed as an insult, I can deffinatly see where the OP is coming from.

The word "gay" has turned into a 3rd meaning in today's generation.

It's not like they're actually talking about gays. People give words new meanings everyone knows what gay means you just have to be a dick about it and point it out.

I hate when people post about trivial annoyances on forums.

It'll change the world, and it makes me angry.
