OK, OK
In view of the responses which it has prompted. I would like to wholeheartedly apologise for my use of the word 'gay' in a sense that caused offence..
well, i was not in the least offended. just so you know.
May I explain why I used that word? Well, it has come into common usage amongst my friends and other people I have come into contact with here in the South East of England to mean 'naff'. This is a usage that no doubt originated from the homophobia which is seemingly everpresent amongst teenage schoolchildren. Nevertheless, it will oft be heard used in a pejoratitive sense, rather than the use coined around the 1980s to mean homosexual, or the earlier sense of happy, joyous, etc.
I would speculate that other people have heard the word used in this sense...
this is EXACTLY what i was refering to in my previous post. i wasn't kidding when i said it sounded like it came from a 12 year old boy. my nephew says that sort of thing ALL the TIME.
I find it rather funny, actually.
although i have pointed out to him that he is using that term in a rather inexact manner.
don't feel bad for offering an opinion. i knew what you meant. i just disagree. and i like the Pegasos blue butterfly.
So there. i think these logo's are much nicer and friendlier than anything MicroBorg has ever come up with.
