inbetween

Cool. Keep in mind the land mass of these provinces. Technically, a huge amount of the world is teetering towards this sort of thing.

I find it fascinating that Alberta refuses to move forward but other "heartland" type provinces seem to shuffle forward fine. Well, mostly fine, because it's going to be a while before everybody gets along. But still...

And incidentally, I still hate how "gay" is somehow a noun. I can barely stand it as an adjective.

I'm just saying this because I heard the argument, not that I entirely believe in it.

People use the word gay, as in: That is so gay.

While it seems that this is aimed directly at homosexuality, the word gay originally meannt happy. The term "gay" used as in, "that is so gay" is in a way an ironical use of the original term, so as to say: that is so "hoplessly naff." Though I refrain from using "gay" in this way casaully, I must admit that the ironical use of the word gay outside of the definition of gay as homosexual intrigues me, as many words have double meanings.
Like the word "cool," or to use a word that is subjucated to a paradoxial usage: wicked, as in, "cool". Those who are "wicked" are not actually cool people to be around.

So, is it safe to say "gay" in the way of saying "hoplessly naff"? Or is it because the word has been attacked that everyone who uses the word in both terms provided should step back and wait until the dust has settled? I really am curious, as many words have double meanings, but should some words not? I'm not saying that everyone who uses the word "gay" in the ironical sentiment that I've provided is actually using it in this sense of the "hoplessly naff," as many people probably use it in a way to attack, but what of the few that don't use it to attack?

Apologies in advance if I seem I actually believe in what I'm saying. I'm just presenting an argument that I've heard on ONE side of the proverbial "fence" which doesn't actually exist.

I never would have pegged SASKATCHEWAN (of all places!) as being the seventh jurisdiction. That makes me happy.

We're alomst there. :)
