Daffyd just be careful in them there other boards, you don’t want to go get catching teh het.
Careful! You don’t want to catch teh Australopithecus afarensis!
Hey, don’t blame us. Blame your parents for not taking their shoes off when you were conceived. I believe that that has been scientifically proven to be the way most people catch teh gay.
I almost caught it once in the 1980s. I walked into a room, and someone was listening to Teh Teh.

This is teh awesum.
Glad you realized your mistake.
However, doesn’t the OP’s language open the SDMB to criticism from the Caveman-Americans?
I think they prefer “evolution-challenged.”

You’re probably also perfect examples of those guys who can’t discuss Gay rights without adding “I’m OK with it as long as they don’t try anything on me”. Don’t flatter yourselves. Like we’d want to hit on some tiny-brained cretins who can’t even spell the word “the” right.
As a friend of mine said (in all seriousness): “Just because I know they all want to plug me, doesn’t mean I’m homophobic.”
Granted, this was a fashion-model-goodlooking guy, but damn. Not enough :dubious: in the world…

What pisses me off is that the same guys will get mad if they think you *do * want to sleep with them, and then they get mad when you tell them you *don’t * want to sleep with them. There’s just no pleasing some people.

I promise not to get mad if you don’t want to sleep with me, ok?
Unless you dress like a sheep.

Okay, hang on a sec… let me process that double negative… Okay, we’re clear. Carry on. Or not, as the case may be.

Dunno about anyone else here, but I almost snorted coffee on this one!

You’re not alone. Being contrarian, however, I almost snorted cabernet. Glad I didn’t, though; wine doesn’t grow on trees, y’know.
Oh, wait…never mind.
… ::checks internets, clarifies (sort of)::
Well, okay, then–the *money * **for ** the cabernet doesn’t grow on trees.
…
Awww, fuck it. ::Pours another glass of cab::
If the OP was in response to that thread (the video for which I forwarded to one of my friends, 'cause it was teh funny), then I invite the OP to come back when their panty suspenders are unwound.

Wait, isn’t Yonge Street in Toronto? I think I went to a record store there once.
Yep, it’s in Toronto… Moved from San Fran to Toronto a few months ago… But as people saw in this thread, I forgot my irony-meter in California obviously…
I’m sending for it… Fedex says it will be delivered by the weekend…
Somebody’s got a case of the Mondays…
(but apparently he hasn’t caught teh gay!)
-Bisexual cocksucker speaking
If I recall correctly, this whole mockery of bigots with the “caught teh gay” phrase started up in earnest when there was a post a couple years back about a poster’s grandmother, who said something like “He’s got the gay, you know,” to the poster (in regards to some guy who was apparently gay). It just sounded so hilarious, and so obviously goofy, that it spread like wildfire and transmuted into “caught teh gay” as a way of mocking those who think gaiety is transmissible.
My only concern is that “teh gays” has become the de facto spelling and the uncool (by that I mean non-Dopers) start using it un-ironically.
I remember having to suggest to my brother he not casually bandy about the word “queer” just because he was cool and “in” with his brother who happened to be homosexual.
Just for the record, I am totally okay with you being gay so long as you don’t try anything on me.

Moved from San Fran to Toronto a few months ago…
So… In fact… You have caught teh Canadian?

I always thought that they were using it as a way to make fun of homophobes.
I always thought this was a very inclusive community. Am I just being oblivious?
That is the way I see it being used here all the time. Can’t think of any example of anything else. Lame fucking pitting.

So… In fact… You have caught teh Canadian?
W’e’ll see about that. Wait, he’s in Toronto, so I guess it’s “We’ll see aboot that.” We have ways of telling if teh Canadian has been caught, and if it’s taking.

So on what board did you see it used unironically? I think perhaps there might have been irony-impairment there as well.

After seeing loser after loser on Fark talking about “gheyass”, “faggots”, and “pillow-biters”, I have become a little touchy lately… It definitely isn’t a case of irony-impairment over there. :mad:
