    "That's SOOOO gay!"

    Preface: I'm not trying to debate the use of the phrase itself, this is more about a customer that walked into a gaming store.

    Anyway, I decided to do a little shopping and ended up going to a gaming store. I know the owner there and will chat with him on a weekly basis or so. As I was browsing games for one of my systems, a guy and a female companion (not sure if she was his girlfriend or not) walked into the store. The girl is basically quiet the whole time and she doesn't play a part in this story.

    The guy asks me if I have (system) and I confirm, saying that one of the games on there is a great remake of the original, which was the reason I got it. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Well, remember the site we're on...

    He then starts talking about Mario games and points towards a certain game.

    "This game has arrows in it that you hit the buttons to. That is SOOOO gay!"

    If he said it once, it wouldn't really be topic worthy, but he said it no less than FIVE times in regards to various games and other products, in addition to sounding like an idiot in general.

    He then leaves the store, telling the owner that he "doesn't talk much for a store employee". After he walked out, the owner and I looked at one another and shook our collective heads.

    I don't like that term being used as an insult, and told my ex-housemate to stop using it.
    "But I'm not using that word in that meaning."
    "I don't care. stop using that word or move out."
    I'm glad he's left.

      well, you know gay guys, arrows and buttons are a really good combination
      I know I like it when my arrow hits... oh never mind

      Those are the guys who I want to ask them how a inanimate object is capable of feeling any sexual attraction, much less to that of the same sex (quite impressive as in modern english inanimate objects have no gender... other languages on the other hand though... )

        Thank you Smiley. Now all night on my shift, I'm not going to be able to say the word 'double-click' without being in danger of losing it laughing.

        Thank you. Ever so much.

          He was talking about the Mario game?

          Not commenting, but I bet I can think of something else to do with a wiimote...

            He was pointing towards DDR, which happens to be a game I really like.

            Of course, he probably doesn't realize that you have to use a pad in order to have any fun with it.

              Dude, I LOVE watching people on DDR. People that are good at it. It's like tap-dancing.

              Can't play it for crap, myself. Lucky to get a C on Beginner mode.

                I used to be get As on 8-footers when I was at my peak.

                Now that I live in an apartment where I can't play it due to me being upstairs, I probably suck at it.

                  Since I frequent automotive message boards, seeing people call something "gay" tends to happen quite a bit. That is, if you don't like their car, which is usually a shitbox Civic or Cavalier, it automatically means that you're gay. How the hell a car can determine your sexuality, I have no idea...

                  Seriously though, I once went to school with a guy...who would say everything was "gay." After awhile, it got old, and quite a few people said "look asshole, can't you come up with another word?"

                    Well, all I have to say is that I would be willing to bet the girl was not his girlfriend.

                      in fairness, your sexuality may influence your preference in cars, and there are some cars that may be more likely that a gay person would buy... but simply buying a car won't make a person gay or straight...

                        Sleeping with floral sheets, a ruffly pillow, and two or three stuffed animals means a guy's not sleeping alone.

                          One of my ex coworkers had this running game where he would announce what you really were based on what you drove.

                          My husband, in a silver PT Cruiser, was, of course, gay.

                          Since I drive an ugly green van full of camping gear, clearly so am I.

                          I asked him what HE was, since he had a great desire to own an El Camino ("But...it's a car....AND a truck!!!"), what was he?

                          He had to think on that.

                          All in fun, of course.

                            I don't think that's the case with these guys--they simply lack imagination, and can't come up with better insults. There are plenty of words to pick from, yet they seem to think that "gay" is the worst. It sure takes them down a peg or four...when I call them a "twinkle-toed fuck pixie"

                              Ah, the world of gaming. I'm starting to regret ever owning a mic for Xbox LIVE.
