Redundant?

[society]

In my school days gay meant happy, cheerful etc., these days it could be a whole different meaning..

Saying 'happy gay' - is this redundant?

[boxtops]

Both mean the same thing, tautology....;-)

i will never "step we gaily on we go" ever again

and a dyke was a type of ditch

In my school days people were made redundant. Now theyre told "we have to let you go" (Classic understatement)

Gaye is still a girl's name, thank goodness

Butch, perhaps you're a teenager and only know the 'modern definition of gay. ;-)

I can remember when a child would tell a parent "I want a wee" and it wouldn't cost more than a penny. Now it's "I want a Wii" and it costs a fortune!

a dyke is a wall up here

When I was a kid wicked meant bad. Modern street talk seems to mean exactly the opposite.

As boxy say's Gaye used to be a fairly common girls name, as it is now a very good friend of the bosses now always uses her midddle name of Janet, as she says she got fed up with the funny looks after meeting people and saying "Hello I'm Gaye" Gay when I was a kid meant you where happy not bent as a nine bob note

I like it in one of the Tony Hancock series, he was talking about the war "When London was gay" (happy and carefree) I think it's probably more gay now!!!!

And Harry Secombe singing "Am I ashamed the good lord made me gay" He didn't mean the modern version though did he? Ah Happy days (not gay you will note). But you can't go back, only forward and if we did go back they wouldn't know what we were saying anyway. Words always change.

In this day and age, can you imagine the reaction from someone after wishing them a Gay Christmas or Gay Easter? lol
