Is Prius actually a "gay" car?

My students asked me about my "gay" car too... it comes from Jeff Dunham - the ventriloquist comedian. One of his dummies (Peanut) tells Jeff that his powder blue Prius is gay. Mr. Dunham's latest video came out over Christmas... so it's fresh on the kid's minds.

Another thought might be the students' connotation of "gay". Anything that's not cool to them is "gay". That's the word I use when explaining a dead language (Latin) versus a living language... it's gone from GAY = being happy to GAY = homosexual to GAY = not cool.

Maybe I should start a new meaning for the word GAY... it could go from meaning "not cool" to maybe "you have something in your teeth". Dude... go to the bathroom.. you're gay! Then you should go check your teeth...... OH.. but don't tap your foot while you're in the stall!!!!

Just random thoughts.... have a GAY DAY!!!

 

That's funny! I too have seen Jeff Dunham's act and it is indeed hilarious. Being an RN and male, I have been asked a few times if I am gay and I just respond, "Of course I'm gay, I think everyone should be gay. It's just so much better being gay, nobody wants to hang around a gloomy person. Wouldn't you rather be gay then sad?" That shuts them up. Although Friday I was driving to work in my "gay" Prius to my "gay" RN job with a bag full of Mary Kay my Irish beaut asked me to deliver. That was definitely gay.

 

I usually feel quite gay driving my Prius or my FJ. About the only time I'm not doom-and-gloom (Gay is the opposite of doom-and-gloom) is driving my Prius or my FJ

 

You thought I'm gay. Cool!

Hmmmm, not to derail anything but what is the national average for Gayness? Is it the same as the poll here indicates?

Yes: 57 - 13.87%
No : 354 - 86.13%

or are we above average here?

Does this mean I am going to have to get a fancy haircut and wear tight shirts?

 

I am a fan of general levity, which is the opposite of specific gravity.

ound:

Only engineers understand this sort of humor. I'm getting dizzy ...

 

Can't hurt ...

 

Maybe spend a little more time at the gym.

Maybe you don't have to be gay... just be Metro-sexual!! But of course this would require the haircut and new shirt. Maybe instead of tight shirt... you could try the puffy shirt like Seinfeld wore!

 

I like to think of my Prius as autoerotic. (Sorry, I had to.)

 

I remember this word from a post a long time ago...it means the car turns you one right? Yeah, mine is too.
I bought hair gel today-lookout!

 

Prius driving = priapism :cheer2:

p.s. Don't bother the Doc just get busy with your SO! :rockon:

 

But I got the joke, and I like levity, too. Uh oh. Does this make me a closet engineer?

 

My wife says you have to be a nerd to drive a Prius.

 

Don't stay in the closet!

Come out and declare yourself, Brother!

 

My girlfriend made fun of me at first, until we got 50MPG on a trip and she only gets 15MPG in her Tahoe. She doesn't like driving it though, she's used to her 5.7 liter CO2 factory.
