Yeah, going on the point that blousie began above,
I'd only use "gay" as an insult if I was sure of the company I was in (and then obviously not as a serious insult) - trouble is not everyone will realise that you're not being serious, not everyone will realise you're simply being "un-pc" because you're being silly, rather than being a massive homophobe. Trouble is, unlike b3ta, facebook attracts everyone, particularly the sort of retards who think "god bles babby p u iz wiv da angles now" is a serious tribute rather than something completely and utterly risible, and who have not been out of their caves long enough to work out the subtleties of your slightly more "risqué" sense of humour.

As I said to Kitty yesterday
the whole "ha ha you're such a bumder" thing is mildly amusing on B3ta as hardly any of you know anything about me really, that's sort of the point. My IRL friends know it winds me up and yet they persist. That's annoying

Where I used to work, I used to get loads of homophobic comments aimed at me, even though I'm 99% straight (I think, I donno that bit).
To get to the sushi place or marks'n'sparks, I have to walk past them, and on mondays some fat fucking life failer works there. This monday, I walked past, and he kept on going on about how he has a boyfriend to me, and my mind went blank, all I did was smile and say "Thank's, not interested".

I should have asked him how old his daughter is these days, who I think is about 15... if he said under 16, I'd say "Oh well, not long to go now" or if she's older I could say "Hook a playa up yo'".

I was mildly amused by your post
until I got to the last bit, which made me spray my keyboard with coffee.

Points, sir

I feel really bad that I've got in the habit of saying 'gay' instead of lame
like "the internet at work is being gay", because an actually gay friend mentioned a while ago that it wound him up when people did that, but I'm already in the habit so I say it without thinking. I need a shock collar or something.

I know gay people who don't give a crap about it though
if you thought like that you'd have to stop saying bastard, and I couldn't do that.

or stop saying twat for fear of offending twats.

The difference is
that people choose to be bastards and twats, you don't choose whether or not you're gay. Look at Perez Hilton. It's not his fault he's gay, but he's only got himself to blame for being a dickhead

not by the proper definition of bastard
and most twats just are like that

I don't use 'gay', because it's a rubbish insult
When you've got others like bender/bumder, shirter, fanny bandit, sausage swallower, Darth, etc which are far funnier
