Hi Joe how did it go in college today,(this translated to us mortals means) how did it go in college today.
One of the replies is something akin to the mating call of a American Bison,its a sound but not a reply that i know of, perhaps my friends over the pond have heard this.
UUUUeeeeehhhhhgooooooodd.Or sometimes its a MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm,
Or its a reply that has nothing to do with the question,how did it go in college,"dad leave me alone"
I do think that most kids today. cant interact with people older than them, to have a chat with someone and share a joke with a stranger, to strike up a conversation with a stranger is taboo.
I have seen my son ask me why did i speak to that stranger while we are on holiday,my reply was he is not a stranger, he has a wife called Sian,he has 3 kids, two of which are in school the other one is a teacher, he likes fishing,he thinks that Wales will win the 6 nations, and we are seeing him and his wife for a drink later on, he is no stranger, he was a stranger till i got to know him.
Perhaps this is the way kid are today,god help us all.
Get your head out of the gutter.
Look at our English language in say 1950. Then go back another 100 years to 1850. Then to 1750. Then to 1650. Language evolves.
Language evolves. It also pics up new meanings for old words as well as new words for new concepts and inventions.
Homosexuals did not steal the word "gay" nor do they want to covolute the word "marriage". A little history for you OK?
First the word "gay" and homosexuality. The following is the best short explaination I have found for your answer.
How did "gay" come to mean "homosexual"?
January 1, 1986
Dear Cecil:
Where, when, how, etc., did the good-natured word "gay" pass into the vernacular as a designation for all things homosexual? Can one be homosexual without being gay, and vice versa?
— Tom M., Los Angeles
Cecil replies:
Hate to tell you this, Tom, but the "good-natured word 'gay'" has been leading a double life. Although many people believe "gay" simply meant lighthearted or cheerful until it was shanghaied by the preverts, the truth is the word has long had a secondary connotation of sexual licentiousness. As early as 1637 the Oxford English Dictionary gives one meaning as "addicted to social pleasures and dissipations. Often euphemistically: Of loose and immoral life" — whence, presumably, the term "gay blade." In the 1800s the term was used to refer to female prostitutes; to "gay it" meant "to copulate."
By 1935 the word "geycat," meaning a homosexual boy, had found its way into print, giving a clue as to the direction things were starti...

By 1935 the word "geycat," meaning a homosexual boy, had found its way into print, giving a clue as to the direction things were starting to go. Sure enough, by 1955 "gay" had acquired its present meaning, as P. Wildeblood notes in Against Law: "Most of the officers had been "gay' … an American euphemism for homosexual." Actually, gays had probably been using the term among themselves long before.
Ghettoization of the term began to occur in the 60s so that today "gay" in the sense of "homosexual" has chased out all other uses of the word. This is more the result of the squeamish attitude of the straight world than any organized campaign on the part of gays, and in any case it's no big deal; there are plenty of other words that cover the same territory that the non-sexual meanings of "gay" did.
At one time "gay" referred strictly to male homosexuals; female homosexuals were called lesbians. (This distinction may no longer hold true — today one hears lesbians being referred to as gay.) Whether all male homosexuals would consent to be called gay — whether, for the matter, all gays would consent to be called homosexual — is a question I will not presume to answer. I am quite certain, however, that most gays would reject the implication that "gay" necessarily implies promiscuity.

Second the supposed "convolution" of the word marriage.
The concept of "marriage" originated from the "contractual" relationship between individuals dating back to 2545BCE in texts of ancient China and India. In 1750BCE the law code of Hammurabi put a more definitive responsibility of the "Contract of marriage" in defining the "bride price" "dowrey" portion of that "contract of marriage". Which long preceded the Biblical defintions under Levitical Law.
In the Greek and Roman times "Marriage" was a "civil contract" between families and NOT a religious process at all.
Later the RCC made a proclaimation that all "marriages" had to be registered with the church, something that the civil governments were opposed to since it took away from their power base.
During all this time the term "marriage" did not exist. It came into being around 1400 and was defined as "bringing together as one". A rather intersting concept since from that time forward the term "marriage" was applied to ALL THINGS where two or more pieces were combined to create a single item. Examples, two trolley cars joint together as a consist are called a "married pair". In ship building to major components of a ships hull when being brought together are being "married" to create the hull. When building an airplane body ie the fuselage is considered the "marriage" of those subcomponents.
Today in the term "marriage' when it comes to the "bringing together as one" two human beings, "Marriage" has two separate and distinct types.
One the "civil contract of civil marriage" is a governmental process of registering a relationship in the eyes of the government. This process is a "basic human civil right" according to SCOTUS See Loving v Virginia 1967 and Perez v Sharp 1949 CASC. The couple then has the "basic human civil right" to expect equal treatment as to the rights, privileges, responsibilities and benefits of the "civil contract of civil marriage"
Two the "religious rite of marriage" where in the couple submit themselves to the dogma, doctrine and beliefs of the religious organization of their CHOICE, where in they CHOOSE to abide by those restrictions and declare to the members of the congregation their CHOICE.
In reality same sex marriage should be treated no differently than opposite sex marriage in the "civil contract of civil marriage".
You really don't know what you are talking about so kindly refrain from future foolishness.
