This is a far out thread, man. Groovy. 8-)

"Presently" was a wonderfully civilised term that meant "soon" or "immediately".

"I'm having a gay time" for simply saying you are having fun.
Atheists have always argued that this world is all that we have, and that our duty is to one another to make the very most and best of it. ~Christopher Hitchens~

But "that is so fucking gay" is a great derisory term. :ask:

I'm all for reclaiming the word gay. When I was a kid it meant "uncool". If I ever use it with old friends, I still mean it that way. I also use it as a synonym for homosexual. If it can mean happy and homosexual, I don't see why it can't mean uncool too.

You got the adjectives in the wrong order, the one that means uncool goes before the other two. It's:

A gay gay gay.

Viddy well, me droogs, viddy well. Appy-polly-loggies. I had something of a pain in the gulliver so had to sleep. I was not awakened when I gave orders for wakening. I am feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it being a night of no small expenditure. I can't make up my rassoodock what to do with the evening. Maybe I'll start off at the Korova milkbar for some milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom. Be off! Or, I'll tollchock your yarbles! Ahhh...what I need now, to give it the perfect ending, is a little of the old Ludwig Van.
