Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Binary, non binary? Binary to me reminds me of something we used to while away the time with in maths lessons at the dreaded Manning punishment block for females not savvy enough to tear up their 11 plus papers. 10101010 zzzzzzzzzz! or some such rubbish. It was lost on me. I'm female, folk can address me as Miss unless I tell em otherwise, I always use the ladies cloakroom if I'm out and if this world gets any crazier I shall seriously consider becoming a hermitess! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 #202 Brew. I have previous posted how the word gay came to be synonymous with homosexuality. My Oxford Pocket dictionary, first edition 1924, my copy 1947, describes the word, other than the usual meaning 'lighthearted, mirthful', as a euphemism meaning dissolute. Looking up the word dissolute it says 'morally lax, licentious'. Looking up the word licentious tells me 'immoral in sexual relations'. So there we have it - it was intended as a complimentary word. I wonder how many homosexuals know that. What's the betting that they think of themselves as the other meaning. Most, I suspect. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 #208 Gay? Would that be anything to do with John Gay who wrote The Bu99ers Opera? Beg pardon, I think that should be The Beggars Opera. Interesting song from the same. Youth's the Season Made For Joy. Chorus runs...Let's be gay, while we may/ Beauty's a flower despis'd in decay. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

woody 549 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Doesn't say much for the future of the human race when a big proportion seem to be deviants of one type or another. As has been said before, the Garden of Eden was created for Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 #208 Gay Lord Robert Earl of Leicester - reportedly lover of Elizabeth 1 not much gay about him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 #220 There certainly wasn't! A fascinating relationship between those two. She appeared to be infatuated with him but clearly didn't trust him. However, a person with Elizabeth I's family background was hardly likely to trust anyone. That said, she had to be talked out of executing him when she discovered he'd married Lettice Knollys without her permission. Robert Dudley, a sort of Tudor Benjamin1945! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
