Isn't it funny how the puffters & the politically-correct get so worked up about terminology? It was not that long ago that the adjective 'gay' referred to someone who was carefree and merry; then, of course, the word was hijacked and came to mean something completly different.

Well, it looks like the meaning of the word has changed once again - these days, it is used by the kids to refer to Rubbish! But don't take my word for it...take that of the BBC, an organisation right at rhe forefront of PC.
