Ironically, the only time I have heard the word used towards somebody that was actually gay, it was by another gay man; a former boss who was talking to one of his friends on the phone. He was embarrassed when I realized I heard him say it and apologized. I told him I didn't give a shit and thought it was funny.

In my experience, it is generally synonymous with wimp or pussy, or poor athletic performance. Like if somebody throws a ceremonial first pitch that lands 20 feet in front of the catcher, or a free throw that falls five feet short of the net. I've called plenty of people f_gs, knowing full well that they weren't. Just like you can call somebody a one who sucks the penis, knowing that they don't actually suck cocks, or a mother****er, knowing that they don't actually **** their own mother, or a bastard, knowing that the person's parents were actually married when he was born. I was in the military. I wouldn't have lasted long in that environment getting butthurt over every silly incident of namecalling.

It seems that Brennaman used it as a direct slur toward gays, which I guess ups the ante, but still, I don't care. Although IMO anybody named Tom who spells it with an "h" must be a bundle of sticks, so he probably should keep his mouth shut.

We say the same thing without using the word all the damn time. That said, it's still a little bit cringy to hear it from an adult (I've never really given a damn what kids say - kids say shit just because they can; just trying the word on here and there...)

But "does your husband play, too?" any time one of our OFers 7-hops a ball to the infield? Yeah - that's calling the dude a homo for sucking at softball. Full stop. And nobody cares at all, even in co-ed games.

We get bent out of shape over weird stuff these days. Then again, 200 years ago we were pulling out pistols and having literal duels if you called someone a scoundrel or a rascal. So...I guess 'these days' isn't really accurate. We've gotten bent out of shape over weird stuff pretty much from time immemorial...

I think dueling would be awesome. Of course, I'm a really good shot.....

Can you imagine the stones it took back then to delope?

"Yeah, I'm just gonna shot really wide, really fast, on purpose and hope the other guy understands what's going on and doesn't murder my ass. And if he goes ahead and kills me - JOKES ON HIM! HE HAS NO HONOR NOW!! I mean...I'm still dead, but I win..."

Yeah, we look at people writing articles claiming vegan cuisine is appropriating a dozen different cultures and wonder what the hell passes through these idiots minds...but people have ALWAYS been dumb and crazy.

"The world ain't coming to nothing, son. It's the same as it ever was..."

I know what I'd like to see pass through their minds.
