Need a new word for Gay (1 Viewer)

It seems my usage is being deemed inappropriate so I need to replace it with something.
Any suggestions?

Amazingly he's married with kids.

I never used the word until met a friend who uses it all the time. It's made its way into my vocabulary but mostly when conversing with that particular friend. We mean no harm (it's not about sexual preferences) and it's a running joke. The few times it has slipped out in front of others, I have been mortified. I find 'lame' is a good substitute.

I've been using gay. But not to mean gay.
As in :
The "message" at the end of every episode of Scrubs is gay.
Phil Cawley referring to himself as Phil is gay.
Etc,etc.

I find using the word "black" instead helps a lot.

 

[Vinnie]

I know. And its not to Bonnie Langford neither. But it should be.

Remember that fat gardener on Live at Three with the lisp? Gay.

 

[therealjohnny]

You mean he was an uphill gardener?

cock

'dude your car is totally cock'

'we have to work on friday? how cock is that?'

 

[Mitchum]

Fruity.

The way a 1940s gumshoe would say it.

Don't be light in the loafers bub.

Invest in Roger Mellie's profanasaurus and choose your favourite.

Been trying to get 'benny' back into the modern Dublin vernacular for ages meself.

 

[maims bond]

yeah, it is getting a bit tired. I like the word 'greasy' but it can't be used as universally as 'gay'.

Friend of mine still uses 'Benny' all the time...and 'benj' too.

'Smell of benj off that new Wong Kar Wai movie' etc.

 

[Serpico]

Tried lame but it sounded gay. Tried black but no-one knew what the fuck I was talking about. Cock is in the lead at the moment but cock is not as easy off the toungue, if you know what I mean.
Benj is grand in it's place but not as versatile as gay or cock.

And on a related note, anyone wonder why you refer to people you dont like as cunts and cocksuckers? I don't know about you but as a heterosexual male I love cunts and cocksuckers.

How about adopting the RTE way

Replace "Gay" with "Pat"

or "Kenny"

might work?
