So. That settles that then.
No, it doesn't. Is being "a" gay different than just being gay? I think it's a political issue, e.g., when people start talking about "the" gays. P.

Older people say "a gay" and younger people say "gay". 'Least that's how I observe it. :cool:

He's a gay bloke, who is sometimes a bit of a gay. That's how I see him, anyway.

You see, P, in England, we all use "gay" to mean "jolly". So you need to put the "a" in to disambiguate.

Such nuances, yikes. I wonder if Gauche knows all this. P.

Whoa! Are you turning the tables on me, and stalking your stalker?
Well, you're so bad at it. I got bored waiting for you every tenth post or more. P. :catroar:

Hahaha! I'm not cut out for such shady behaviour. ;)

Yeah, my mum used to call the gays "the happy people" (but her first language was Spanish).

Your use of disambiguate got me all squirmy again. P.
 
I do all my stalking in public, where you'd think you were safest...

I'm sure there are a few people on this board who could give you stalker lessons. :D

Go on, spill it. Name and shame them.

(Although, I already have a fair idea.)
