About my design
by sp3nca
I know you probably don't get the shirt, but it'll make sense if you read the topic title.

Juegue in Spanish means "to play", but that's not what we want. Read it in Spanish, but think of it in English. It's pronounced "h-way gay" with the h silently running into the sound of the w making it sound like "way gay" making it say "School is Way Gay", just in less noticable manner.

If you wear it, you'll confuse people, but once they know what it says, it'll be funny.

does it makes sense, then?

how would you like it if i said school was 'way straight'? hm? HMMM?

okay, you would probably not really care, or become very confused....but i'm still going to be the pc bitch and say, juege? no way.

i'm sure my homosexual friends would feel great about themselves if i wore this shirt in front of them, and i'd feel like an ignorant a**hole. let's not perpetuate the use of childish, hurtful, derogatory expressions.

To quote a Mr Horse from Ren & Stimpy: "No sir, I don't like it."
I have gay friends/relatives and am sick to death of "that's gay" or "you're gay" or any variations thereof using gay in that manner.
I get what you're going for and points for the pun.
I might have liked this when I was like 6 or 7. That's not meant as a rip (much) just stating a fact.

um. i don't know any gay people that care about using gay like that. just cause you're straight doesn't mean you know can take offense to gay things. In fact. It never means you can. Stop it. Niiiiiice shirt.

I was trying to read it with English pronunciation. If you put "Escuela es juegue"...wait, no, that still wouldn't make sense.

it's not meant to cause controversy, it just a very commonly used line amoung people today, mixed up so its less noticable.

and to the person above me, that's kind of the point, to not make it blantantly obvious, hence the spanish word.

gay: Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room

the meanings of words evolve all the time. you can be a little too sensitive.
saying that, i'm not keen on the shirt.

unfortunately gay not only is referred to as an opposite to straight, but also an adjective to lame. whether you want to say it isnt is totally up to you, but today it is a common phrase referring to lame.
geeyouknitxx
geeyouknitxx on May 22 '06
this shirt isnt offensive. if i said "that's gay" even if i was referring to it's dictionary term "bright and sunny" gay people would take offense. it's a cycle of doom.
concannon
concannon on May 22 '06
I do think your idea is clever. But despite that fact, and that the term gay is not meant offensively towards homosexuals, I can't condone this idea. I hate that "gay" has come to mean "stupid", and never use the term that way myself, and would hate to see the habit spread on a shirt, even in subtlety.

Sorry. Clever idea, at least, as I said. 1

No jue. I don't support the use of 'gay' in that context, any more than I would 'gypped.'

what's wrong with school?
rubida
rubida on May 22 '06
But... I like school alright. It's definitely not way gay.
and I always thought people who said "That's gay" were sorta dumb, seeing as how they couldn't think of a better adjective.
Frootchinator
Frootchinator on May 22 '06
agreed, rubida. the english language has many adjectives which would eloquently describe anything better than 'gay.'

the message, implying that school is "gay" (in a negative way) and the fact that you use the word gay in the first place as a negative term. terrible. i give it a zero.

actually, "jugar" means "to play." "jugue" is a conjugated form of "jugar" and it means "he plays," "she plays," or "you play" (formal.)

and just because one gay person isn't offended by this doesn't mean that it's not offensive to some gay people.

Yo puedo ver que usted no se gusta escuela por que no aprendía Espanol. No nesecita hacer una camiseta.

Yeah, it's far better to proclaim oneself to be an oserlay than to merely let people wonder.
