I slipped the word 'bumgay'into casual conversation with a work colleague recently. He said 'Bungay? - that's a town in Sussex, isn't it?'
Me: No, it's a word. Bumgay. It means gay.
He: What, so it's just 'GAY' with the word 'BUM' stuck in front of it?
Me: Yes. BUM.
He: And it means 'gay'.
Me (losing the will to live) Yes.
He: And what's the word again?
Me (deflatedly): Bumgay.
He: I've not heard that before.
I have now dropped the word from my workday vocabulary. AND he did't bum me, which was obviously why I raised the subject in the first place.
