I still catch myself saying "that's gay" sometimes when something is stupid.
I know I told this story again, but since the forum ate all my old posts, I think I got fired from a bank customer for doing this exact thing. Kicker was; he was not the happy sort, rather the other...

I can do without gay, but not sure I'm able to surrender using the word "retarded". Mostly I use it to describe myself, as a self-deprecating ice breaker. It just means 'slow', but I sure get some looks.

Yes it was! And in the 90's it meant "stupid". I still catch myself saying "that's gay" sometimes when something is stupid. I've heard that name for a woman before, Gay. Mostly with the older population.
I Grew up in DICKinson. There is a car dealership in town, "Gay buick gmc"...

Retarded has also caught me, in fact a good customer and I were talking about this, and he was trying to work on it in particular, because they had adopted an autistic child and realized how negative the word really was.

What kind of slur do we use then?

You're "heterosexual white male normative".

Just doesn't sound as good as gay.

I took several psychology classes in college with a professor named "Mike Hunt". The very first psychology class I took from him was "human sexuality".

I also had an OB/Gyn named D.r Hymen.
There's a proctologist in Houston named Dr Butts.

So there are Two! There was a guy in my brothers class in high school named Mike Hunt. He worked at a hardware store, and whenever they called him over the loud speaker they had to ask for Michael Hunt.

Queue the bar scene from Train Spotting (forget whether in the film or the book, or both), and the descent into hell.
