Sounds like someone scored highly on the How gay are you test...
You sound like someone who is six months older than the person in (1). With less charisma.
Is it cause I is hetero ?

I think that if your actually gay thenyour not really going to care about what people say.
off topic but does shaving your legs mean your gay??? 😈

FFS, get a life people. People use terms that they perhaps shouldn't; people use terms that may be deemed offensive to some other people. Personally I swear copiously - it gets me through particularly troublesome points when simple 'cor blimey' won't do; it may offend people so I try to keep it to myself.
Personally, I've decided that I find the word 'fork' offensive to my sensibilities - you may not know but I injured myself on a fork when I was a child and am now very sensitive about it. So if you say fork in a thread then you're offending me.
Oh, you don't like that? Because fork means something completely different to you? Funny that. Personally I have always known 'jey' to mean uber-keen cross-country type who's much faster than me on a bike. If you interpret my using 'jey' as some kind of insult, then my apologies - I have never used it to denigrate.. Unfortunately I won't be changing the way I think to take that into account. On the other hand, I realise that 'gay' as a derogatory term is not on.
I've tried writing to Chipps in the past to complain about the inappropriate use of the term gay but i suspect the owners/moderators are too frightened to upset their majority audience (heterosexual males) by challenging the use of the word or any of the attitudes displayed here.

No, I think it's because you sound like an idiot.
XC Jayboy was a sticker MBUK gave away about 67 years ago and I think its stems from that. When someone calls something gay/ghey/jay/jey I don't interpret that as being derogatory to Homosexual people but I'm sure it stems from this. Being fairly young (22) I grew up with people calling things gay and we were sat down in an English lesson (16 at the time) and asked why we did it and no one made a link between calling something gay and it being homosexual.
After all its just a word that is used for homosexual people and is now used to describe things that aren't cool.
I'm not saying its right and I am sure it does offend / intimidate some people.

Why though?
Anyway when I was at school we used the term 'spastic', 'flid', etc - is that still acceptable?

That was very honest of you all. 🙄
I'm fed up with all the hand wringing.
We have a gay rider within one of our groups, if he messes up on the bike I'll say 'how ****ing gay are you' he has no problem with that at all, even uses the term himself.
So does that make it 1 - 1?
It's a different use of the word.
This has made me aware that it's constant use could be causing offence.
Though there is always going to be a need for a term in general banter that mocks another mans manner, jey seems bob on.
