Slang for "homosexual" (adj.) is first recorded 1951, apparently shortened from gey cat "homosexual boy," attested in N. Meaning "brilliant, showy" is from c.1300. I would like to know what is this arabic word.ġ178, "full of joy or mirth," from O.Fr.

(Though the homosexual sense of the term is said to have come from an Arabic word via French.) įunny, according to the archive on wikidtionary this sentence has been added the day of the terrorist attack in Madrid. but if someone does get a chance to research some more that'd be great. i might not have looked in the right places so i didnt want to delete those statements. i don't see anything that supports the idea that it comes from gaudium-tho no one really knows and i didn't find anything that says the meaning homosexual comes from arabic and then french. I've been looking up the etymology of the word. Or would that yet be too "PC?" Baixue June 17th, 2005

I suggest deleting the entire paragraph, and changing meaning 5 to indicate that it is pejorative slang, so that bigots may read this entry free from moral chastisement. If someone is so irked by the statement that a pejorative usage actually does offend the people it is intended to insult, as to raise the tired old bugbear of "PC". " while others feel that political correctness is hindering the natural progression of the language." Consider something like salad dressing, which is a dressing intended for salads, but salad certainly isn't an adjective. Paul G 08:35, (UTC) I very much doubt that gay in (the former) definition 4 is an adjective at all. Some languages use a prefix for the "intended for homosexuals" sense but a separate word for the "homosexual" sense. Some of the translations do differ - see the Finnish (assuming these are correctly numbered). A "gay bar" is one intended for homosexuals but is not itself homosexual. The difference is slight but there is one.

I don't see any difference between meanings 3 and 4, 'homosexual' and 'pertaining to homosexuals'.

"gay" as a synonym for "lame" or "boring" or "uncool" certainly should be labelled as slang. It has become over the past 30 years the primary meaning of the word and today the previous meanings can be considered obsolete. I hardly think that the use of "gay" for homosexual can be considered slang anymore. The terms they prefer use gay as an adjective only (as in "gay men"). Many gay people prefer not to be referred to by this noun, feeling that being known as "gays" depersonalises them and reduces them to little more than their sexual orientation.This appears to be less than straight forward and very Yoda-like. 7.3 RFV discussion: September–November 2015.7.1 dated: Gay = LGBT (sic including the T).
