! Bob, you're really starting to sound like a "(little bit) more
! prolific Madigan"...are you obsessed with homosexuality like him?
!
Well you didn't like the "egocentric self-proclaimed intellectual Bob"
so I decided to try a different approach, one that you seem to enjoy
better and to which your responses are measurably more, well, "gay"
(in the traditional sense of the term).
gay
adj 1: bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer; "a cheery
hello"; "a gay sunny room"; "a sunny smile" [syn: cheery, sunny] 2:
full of or showing high-spirited merriment; "when hearts were young
and gay"; "a poet could not but be gay, in such a jocund company"-
Wordsworth; "the jolly crowd at the reunion"; "jolly old Saint Nick";
"a jovial old gentleman"; "have a merry Christmas"; "peals of merry
laughter"; "a mirthful laugh" [syn: jocund, jolly, jovial, merry,
mirthful] 3: given to social pleasures often including dissipation;
"led a gay Bohemian life"; "a gay old rogue with an eye for the
ladies" 4: brightly colored and showy; "girls decked out in brave new
dresses"; "brave banners flying"; "`braw' is a Scottish word"; "a
dress a bit too gay for her years"; "birds with gay plumage" [syn:
brave, braw] 5: offering fun and gaiety; "a gala ball after the
inauguration"; "a festive (or festal) occasion"; "gay and exciting
night life"; "a merry evening" [syn: gala(a), festal, festive, merry]
6: homosexual or arousing homosexual desires [syn: queer,
homophile(a)] n : someone who practices homosexuality; having a sexual
attraction to persons of the same sex [syn: homosexual, homo]
