Writer's Block: Are you incentivized?

I don't know if this counts but I LOATHE the usage of "You're gay." as an insult. Since when - and how  - is that a decent comeback? By using the word in that way you're making it derogatory and symbolizing that it stands for something bad or annoying.

Such as also when people say ___ is so gay. Same thing. You're making it seem like it's a terrible thing and putting sexuality on an object - how is that right or even remotely make any sense?

It's such a commonly used phrase in schools nowaday and I hate all that it stands for and means. I wish we'd all go back to 'Cool beans.' :p

Yeah, that's gay.

Thank you for saying as much. I was scrolling through the answers kind of hoping I'd see this one in the mix somewhere ('cause I'm a cool bean and was hoping for a mood lifter, and voila).

I'm not a creepy stalker, I was just scrolling through writer's block answers and saw yours. Totally agree! I think teachers need to stop their students from saying it more often. :)

Kids these days. It's annoying. And so not mature. At all.
The worst thing is that I've heard one of my bffs say this. All I could do was stare and then politely ask her not to say that again, because aren't there more appropriate phrasings out there? That isn't so derogatory?
Yes there is.
