Dancing lines

Big project due tomorrow. Pulling all-nighters in the studio with undergraduates. Kids today are fond of using "gay" as a pejorative. I don't think they really mean gay as in homosexual, just as we didn't mean "sucks" as in actually sucking. They way they use it, it means slack or lame, which doesn't really seem to jibe with what I have observed in actual gay people over the years. I guess it is a way of saying "that's so weak." It makes me a little uncomfortable. I mean, it would be totally unacceptable to say "that looks like a nigger did it," but these people don't think twice about saying "that's so gay." I'll probably be saying it before long. Jeesh, what am I saying? I'm so gay...
