useof the word gay

people always say something is gay if they dont like it.

"that teacher is gay"
"my computer is gay"
"this topic is so gay"

WHY!?! gay is when a person loves someone of the same gender!
it annoys me soooo much!

what do you think? do you think its overused?

1. Gay used to mean your happy.
2. Gay is only used for BoyXBoy. Lesbian is used for GirlXGirl.
3. Also, if you love the opposite gender, you're straight.

1. THINK? It usually is.

3. It was just an extra fact.

2. Gay doesn't necessarily refer to boyxboy; it can also refer to girlxgirl. Lesbian, on the other hand always refers to girlxgirl.

Synonyms 3. gleeful, jovial, glad, joyous, happy, cheerful, sprightly, blithe, airy, light-hearted; vivacious, frolicsome, sportive, hilarious. Gay, jolly, joyful, merry describe a happy or light-hearted mood. Gay suggests a lightness of heart or liveliness of mood that is openly manifested: when hearts were young and gay. Jolly indicates a good-humored, natural, expansive gaiety of mood or disposition: a jolly crowd at a party. Joyful suggests gladness, happiness, rejoicing: joyful over the good news. Merry is often interchangeable with gay: a merry disposition; a merry party; it suggests, even more than the latter, convivial animated enjoyment. 4. brilliant.
Antonyms 3. unhappy, mournful.
Usage note In addition to its original and continuing senses of ?merry, lively? and ?bright or showy,? gay has had various senses dealing with sexual conduct since the 17th century. A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, a gay house a brothel. This sexual world included homosexuals too, and gay as an adjective meaning ?homosexual? goes back at least to the early 1900s. After World War II, as social attitudes toward sexuality began to change, gay was applied openly by homosexuals to themselves, first as an adjective and later as a noun. Today, the noun often designates only a male homosexual: gays and lesbians. The word has ceased to be slang and is not used disparagingly. Homosexual as a noun is sometimes used only in reference to a male.
