I have always wondered why people said gay for unreasonable things.

"Dude that homework was gay"
In what way was that homework homosexual?
Explain why you say it...To be honest I might say it from time to time, but if you ever hear someone say it, (I do it to people I hate) say; " In what way was that homosexual" and after you have said it more than once, they get really pissed at you.
So why do we say gay to non homosexual things? Answer......
Being gay was a bad thing we just removed the sexual meaning.
Good example of how words change over time and language
