It's a Conversation Ruiner
A conversation ruiner is something that just kills whatever kind of intelligent exchange of words between two or more individuals and it's usually something really stupid. A couple examples:
Guess What/That's What
Delivery:
Sagien: Guess what?
Wombat: What?
Sagien: That's what.
Because of this extremely immature and annoying "joke" nobody in my circle of friends would say the word "what" for a good solid year out of fear of the bomb that was the "That's what" response which was almost certainly followed by diabolical inane laughter.
This running gag became so obnoxious and ruined so many conversations that never even started that I've eventually ended up being ignored, dispised, thrown out of cars and molested because of it.
You're a [insert whatever here]...
Delivery:
mincus: I need some anal beads.
Sagien: You're anal beads.
or..
mincus: I could sure use a blowjob
Sagien: You're a blowjob.
More stupid than annoying, this form of wordplay has recently resurfaced as an almost benign cancer. Most users of this "conversation killer" partake in it almost absentmindedly and just garner strange "why did you just say that" look from their intended victims.
Adverbially Gay
This is my new favorite one. This didn't start out as something that was intended to kill conversations. This started out as a running joke between mincus and I where we'd attach an adverb in front of the word gay and then laugh hysterically at ourselves. Let's give it a shot.
Stupendously gay
Suddenly gay
Tremendously gay
Racially gay
Undoubtedly gay
Terrifyingly gay
Chronically gay
Passively gay
Belligerantly gay
Unitelligibly gay
Forcibly gay
Logodaedalusly gay
Contractually gay
... This could go on all day... and it does. This is the reason why it's a conversation killer. Let me demonstrate
Joe Camel: Did you guys see that new movie? It was really ---
Sagien: Theatrically gay.
[insane laughter]
Insanely gay
oh and in commemoration of ISSF being banned from workplaces that use Websense everywhere:
Tastelessly gay.
Woo!
I know you bunch of morons are going to start IMing me being all retarded like:
RandomAIMchix0r: romg sagien that was funny post. I have one! Funnily gay ::snickernodgigglefart::
And I'll be all like
Sagien: stfu idiot
And I appreciate comments like that.
I appreciate it even more if it was made on the blog.
Cuz then it's funny for everyone.
Thanks.
Posted by sagien at December 22, 2006 10:04 AMI don't really know what an adverb is. I was never good at english. (must be an ESL thing)
Posted by: Clarus at December 22, 2006 11:27 AMis there an adverb without 'ly' that could work before gay?
Posted by: blacjax at December 22, 2006 11:40 AMblacjax, would a comparative adverb work? ...more gay? ...too gay? ...how about otherwise gay? ...or something more basic, like often gay?
call me old fashioned, but i'll take an -ly suffix any time, like accidentally gay.
indubitably.
Posted by: nmg at December 22, 2006 12:08 PMThat works ... just thought thier might be a more profoundly gay adverb without 'ly' that could be used. Though I could not think of one.
Posted by: blacjax at December 22, 2006 12:12 PMTragically gay.
Posted by: sagien at December 22, 2006 02:07 PMirreversibly gay
Posted by: nmg at December 22, 2006 03:05 PMOoh, ooh, I hava a good one:
Dave Miller is Gay.
ROFL.
That's gold, baby.
Posted by: wombat at December 22, 2006 03:33 PMPosthumously gay.
Posted by: April at December 22, 2006 06:32 PMpaynefully gay?
Posted by: nmg at December 22, 2006 06:54 PMI nominate "paynefully gay" as the most profoundly gay adverb yet.

Posted by: Kozemp at December 23, 2006 07:40 PMHow about "This Xmas, when challenged to do so, Kozemp will eat his weight in Ring Dings."
Not exactly adhering to the aforementioned formula, but, something to consider.
I will use my adverb+gay pairing in a sentence:
I just took a shower, and now I'm Zestfully gay.
Posted by: wombat at December 23, 2006 08:04 PMIn case nobody got it, wombat's last name is Payne.
And this is just an excuse to add a few more I thought of:
Problematically gay.
as in "Wombat can't fit all nine inches into his asshole. This is problematically gay."
or, my new personal favorite:
Elderly gay.
Posted by: sagien at December 24, 2006 04:00 PMI've always found Vincent Price chillingly gay.
Posted by: nmg at December 25, 2006 07:21 PMI think that nmg and Kevin Spacey are mostly gay, all of the time.
Posted by: bitchinly gay at December 25, 2006 08:58 PMbitchin'sounds awfully californian...
I'd be willing to bet that you an your girlfriend look identically gay.
How about this:
"Wombat is a complete and utter social reject who is such a complete fuckup at life that he lived for close to a year without hot water, who has never and will never make anything of himself, who has never held and will never hold a job that makes double digits per hour, who sits around moping and whining about disgusting chicks who have long since forgotten his name, and who has never and will never amount to anything, ever, anywhere. And, by the way, is a terrible writer."
-ly gay.
Kozemp, who may not be great at life but unlike Wombat is at least good at something, ftw.

Posted by: Kozemp at December 26, 2006 06:11 PMKozemp, who is privy to my catalogue of writing, has made what I like to call "a bullshit statement."
I know it hurts when you're teething, but seriously, don't stoop to such levels when you don't have a frame of reference.
Here's my frame of reference:
1) Kozemp may have never had sex (this is arguable, I suppose, but, my gut instinct yields this to be entirely plausible).
2) Kozemp is morbidly obese.
3) Kozemp is not entertaining.
When you add these up, one can make an educated guess and come up with the following:
1) Kozemp may never have sex, ever. (short of getting a girl drunk and over-powering her in his parents basement and/or it comes to be known that he is the Blackhorse Strangler).
2) Kozemp will continue to be fat and unentertaining.
3) He will die lonely and obese, still telling Monica Lewinsky* jokes to people in shitty night clubs who are still mad about the dissolving of the WB.
*I figure this to be your type of humor since you insist on burning me with what's now dated material. Oooh, I was depressed about a girl. Wow. Unheard of. How could I have been so stupid! Or naive! Of course, you'd understand this to be the recourse that comes with heartbreak if a girl had ever taken you seriously enough to actually wanna see you naked, or at the very least was willing stifle back the vomit in order to simply talk to you. Truth is, you have no idea what you're talking about, because the relationships you experience are fleeting, and come at 300kb/sec, ending long before the money shot.
Nice try, though.
