Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #42 Why is Gay an option and how does that actually relate to how often your hair is washed?
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #43 Perhaps a decade ago, "gay" as an insult was an appropriately humorous description for someone who didn't wash their hair at all. At least in Ad's mind.

Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #44 I thought that was backwards and that gay would mean you wash it really often for some reason.
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #45 It could be taken that way, but I think the ordering of the other options makes it clear which is meant!

Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #46 The ordering gives it away yeah. Still seems like a random option though.
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #47 Ah, how the language has moved on.
Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #48 It's funny how 3 people voted for it too.
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #49 Well yeah, it's what I learned when I was running the poll threads. Give people a booby option, and with enough time, it'll get some votes!

Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #50 I guess it makes sense, a lot of people would pick the humorous option.
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #51 I wonder what the stats pundits work with would look like if Ipsos MRBI, Red C, and the like, included those kinds of options.

R4Y_ANC3L Messages 10,332 Tings 6,460 Aug 24, 2019 #52 Gays do not wash hair?. Well I learn something everyday.
Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #53 I didn't see the logic either.
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #54 Ad did overuse the word "gay" in the old days though, IIRC…
R4Y_ANC3L Messages 10,332 Tings 6,460 Aug 24, 2019 #55 Then again, it could mean that we are excited to not wash our hair.
Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #56 At least it was being used without being offensive to people from what I can see.
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #57 The nineteenth-century sense of "gay"? Perhaps… How often did people wash their hair in the nineteenth century anyway?

Steo Senior global moderator Messages 36,397 Tings 100,860 Aug 24, 2019 #58 They probably used to put a cup in the bath and pour it over their heads.
PluMGMK Administrator Messages 40,592 Tings 137,076 Aug 24, 2019 #59 I wonder if they used arsenic-laced shampoo or anything crazy like that.
supmachin Messages 12,081 Tings 14,815 Aug 24, 2019 #60 Unfortunately I have to wash it almost everyday
