Love the plugin so far.
It would be great if it remembered the name of the file I was last editing and defaulted to that when I select it in the menu.
It would also be nice if I could use it entirely for my plugin development. So, for example, add an option to "Create New Plugin" that will let you designate a folder and all the header fields for a new plugin. It will then create the folder and create a blank plugin file for editing.
Also, the ability to create new blank files and new folders would make the process of developing plugins much easier.

I have stored all my application (key-value pair) settings in the app.config so far in my Windows Forms application. I'd like to change it, because
- I should store settings by user (NOT win user, but my app user)
- there are some confidential settings that must be stored
- I have several clients, that connects to the same db, so one app user can log in from any client
- there can be problems writing to config files, cause app folder fro a given windows user can be read-only
Using config for this purpose is very comfortable, but I can not work with it on because of these problems.
My question is, if there is an out-of-the box or well tested, widely used library/class/way that can read/write key-value pair settings from a database?

The Production Rating: 5/5After stagecoach robber Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) is captured away from his gang, stagecoach owner Mr. Butterfield (Robert Emhardt) offers $200 for men who will transport the criminal to a nearby train depot and put him on the train to Yuma where he can face trial. Desperately in need of the money to save his faltering, drought-plagued ranch, Dan Evans (Van Heflin) along with town drunk Alex Potter (Henry Jones) agrees to the job knowing that once the gang learns of Ben's whereabouts, they'll be on his trail. While secreted in a hotel awaiting the arrival of the 3:10 train, Ben begins his own form of psychological warfare on Dan using every possible argument and bribe trying to persuade him to let him go and thus free himself from the superior numbers of Ben's gang who are without doubt on their way to rescue him.
Adapted from Elmore Leonard's story, Halsted Welles' script doesn't waste a minute of the film's lean 92-minute running time. As the hours click down to minutes, Ben never loses his cool while Dan agonizes with his decision knowing he has a wife (Leora Dana) and two sons back home who are depending on him for survival. And once the gang arrives and the odds change deftly into Ben's favor, the tension mounts unmercifully with Delmer Daves' crisp, efficient direction and the superb performances of all of the principals tying the audience's emotions into knots. Daves uses a variety of shots to cover both the physical and psychological action: either from high above for showing the locales of the various subjects in the drama (the opening stagecoach robbery sequence is brilliantly composed for the screen and shot with great economy but with no loss of interest for the viewer) or in intense close-ups as we read every thought that flickers across the faces of both Ben and Dan. There are plenty of surprises for first-timers to the movie (and those coming from the 2007 remake can anticipate quite a different ending if somewhat less violent action), but the film plays just as wonderfully on repeated visits as we see wheels turning in the minds of all of the participants as the action unfolds.
Glenn Ford had his choice of roles and chose the outlaw, a wise decision since he plays the part with striking shades of gray: bursting with confidence but not with reckless bravado and rather than as a cold-hearted villain and thus actually gets the audience on his side on occasion. Van Heflin, often playing the honorable man forced into untenable situations that he must struggle to overcome, scores another career high here. Henry Jones as the town drunk who sobers up rather quickly with the daunting task at hand earns deserved character points while Richard Jaeckel as Ben's right-hand man shows even early in his career the volatile firecracker personality that often made him a movie standout. As the two women most affected by the events of the story, Felicia Farr as a barmaid who has a brief liaison with Ben and Leora Dana as Dan's wife Alice both acquit themselves wonderfully despite their only peripheral roles in the drama that's occurring.
Video Rating: 5/5 3D Rating: NA
The film's original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio is presented in 1080p resolution using the AVC codec. As another of the masterful restorations by Grover Crisp, this is one of the strongest black-and-white transfers yet available on Blu-ray. Sharpness is exemplary with acres of detail to be seen in desert foliage, clothes, hair, and skin. The grayscale and contrast levels are perfection with not a particle of an artifact anywhere to be seen. The film has been divided into 20 chapters.
Audio Rating: 4.5/5The disc offers the viewer a choice of audio encodes: PCM 1.0 (1.1 Mbps) and a repurposed DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 sound mix. I listened to about half of the movie with each choice, but I much preferred the uncompressed mono track. It seemed more suited to the film and actually offered stronger, more vivid fidelity. Dialogue in both is crisp and clean and never overpowered by sound effects or George Duning's beautiful, haunting score with special mention going to Frankie Laine's wonderful rendition of the title song (and that's the voice of Norma Zimmer singing it later in the film which leads to a discussion between the two men of the importance of women in their lives). In the lossless surround mix, there is very nice spread of the music across the fronts with some spill into the rears and some very light but still noticeable ambient sounds in the rears as well.
Special Features: 2.5/5Elmore Leonard Interview (13:01, HD): conducted in 2013, the famous writer of westerns and other genre pieces talks about his original story and the changes made for the two movie versions as well as discussing his early career as a writer.
Peter Ford Interview (15:04, HD): the son of Glenn Ford and musical star Eleanor Powell, Peter Ford discusses his father's life and film and television career and the difficulties of growing up the son of a Hollywood star in this 2013 interview.
18-Page Booklet: contains cast and crew lists, some excellent stills from the movie, and critic Kent Jones' celebration of director Delmer Daves and some of his more renowned films.
Timeline: can be pulled up from the menu or by pushing the red button on the remote. It shows you your progress on the disc and the title of the chapter you're now in. Additionally, two other buttons on the remote can place or remove bookmarks if you decide to stop viewing before reaching the end of the film or want to mark specific places for later reference.

Sad there isn't better extras for this one, but it sounds like Criterion did right once again. Thanks for the review!
They have a lot of Sony titles to get through...
Yet another Criterion to add to my shelf. I have the DVD but I can easily justify an upgrade here.

What a beautiful looking disc and a presentation that Mr. Crisp and his team over at Sony should be proud of. I almost had tears in my eyes as I viewed this excellent film tonight with a video and audio presentation that matched the excellence of the film.

The Cedar Bluff Homestead saga is steadily nearing the finish line as long as everything goes as planned. The Afton City Council was scheduled to discuss the development during its meeting last night, Sept. 15, but has decided to postpone the decision until next month. If approved, the Cedar Bluff Homestead would be Afton's first clustered-housing development, which would include 25 private lots and a 70-acre conservation easement with the Minnesota Land Trust in hopes of preserving open space.
The State Fair has come and gone, but for a few locals the memories of the "Great Minnesota Get Together" will live on. Here are some of the Woodbury-area connections you may have bumped into at the fair: Making mini donut magic If you've been to the fair at all since 1950, there's a good chance you've tasted the little treats sold at the Tom Thumb Donuts stand.
An Afton woman, who for the last several years has been pursuing her own path to priesthood, was recently ordained in a ceremony last month by the Roman Catholic Womenpriest organization. Linda Wilcox went through her ordination ceremony Aug. 16. The Roman Catholic Womenpriest group is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church.
Over the last year, Twitter has exploded amongst internet-users and has added to the popularity of all social networking sites. But for many folks who are still getting used to Facebook and LinkedIn, the prospect of embracing yet another social networking phenomenon brings with it some apprehension. That's the latest from officials at Stafford Library in Woodbury, which is offering a Saturday, Sept.
District 833 has been working hard to manage their budget and keep costs down, and this includes the heads of Community Educations' "K Plus" all-day kindergarten program. The K Plus program has made fairly substantial cuts to the supply budget from $1000 per classroom to $250 per classroom. There are currently 35 sections, housing nearly 700 students, at all 16 elementary schools in the district. "Because this is a fee-based program, we try really hard to keep the costs down as best we can for parents," said Ernie Pines, District 833 Community Education director.
In less than a week the days of summer will be a distant memory. Instead of barbeques, there will be school lunches. Instead of sunny days at a beach, there will be long afternoons in the library. The fall will also bring about a lot of changes to District 833 -- new attendance boundaries, new grade configurations, a transition from a junior to a middle school and a new high school -- that have been met with a variety of positive and negative reactions.
Everybody's favorite beagle, Snoopy, has found himself a new home in Woodbury outside the Kissing 2 Lips flower shop. "Snoopy is going to be the new face of the flower shop," owner Christie Lewis said. The Snoopy statue was delivered to the flower shop on Thursday, Aug. 27. Snoopy has always been part of Lewis' family having been displayed prominently outside their previous establishment, Shamrock's Bar and Grill, in all his Irish glory.
Two local youth are a few official steps away from having their names and hands entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for longest handshake. On Tuesday, Aug. 31,Woodbury High School juniors Nathan Herzberg and Kyle Swanson unofficially broke the world for the world's longest hand shake of 10 hours. "I'm so unbelievably excited right now," Herzberg said. "I can't believe we actually pulled it off." Herzberg and Swanson decided to break the record for handshaking because they said they have a habit of handshaking and they were curious to see what the world record was.
Hundreds of people came out last weekend, Aug. 28-30, to enjoy all of the fun festivities during Woodbury Days. Woodbury Days offered fun entertainment for everyone of all ages, whether it was the family fun at the carnival, making friends with some animals at the petting zoo, visiting the many community businesses at the business fair, playing a few hands in the bingo tent, enjoying the parade, or even just relaxing on the grass with some delicious food from the Taste of Woodbury.
In recent months, some residents of Afton have had to say farewell to their feline friends a bit sooner than they should have because of the animal control laws in Afton. During the Afton City Council workshop last month, council members discussed possible changes to their animal control ordinance and implementing some new programs.

Wahoo! Indians move to cusp of World Series with 7-3 win over Red Sox
CLEVELAND (AP)—Hang tight, Colorado Rockies. There's another team roaring through October.
And you just might see them in the World Series.
The Cleveland Indians, relying on a throwback pitcher who looks as if he stepped out of their 1948 team photo, moved one win from another crack at winning an elusive championship.
Pumping his arms with an old-school windup, Paul Byrd blanked Boston long enough and Casey Blake homered to start Cleveland's seven-run rampage in the fifth inning as the Indians beat the Red Sox 7-3 Tuesday night for a 3-1 lead in the AL championship series.
"We want to put them away here," Byrd said. "That's a great team over there. They can easily come back and win three. We're taking absolutely nothing for granted. We'll enjoy the win for now, but we want to put them away."
Just like those rockin'-and-rollin' Rockies, who are awaiting their next opponent, these Indians are soaring like a team of destiny.
Everything is falling Cleveland's way, and with a victory in Game 5 on Thursday night, the Indians will have another chance to bring this title-starved town something it hasn't seen since the Browns won it all in 1964.
The Indians, who knocked out the New York Yankees and their monstrous payroll in the first round of the playoffs, now have the free-spending Red Sox on the ropes. Even three straight homers couldn't rally Boston.
After a day off, the Indians will turn to ace C.C. Sabathia, their left-handed leader. Boston's Josh Beckett, who beat Cleveland in Game 1 at home, will try to send the series back to Fenway Park.
"To be in a position to put us in the World Series is unbelievable," Sabathia said. "I'm going to go out and have fun."
The Indians haven't been to the Series since 1997 and haven't won a title since '48, when they beat the Boston Braves. Cleveland's 59-year drought is only eclipsed by the Chicago Cubs, those lovable losers whose futility now extends to 99 years this fall after an early-October flame out.
While these Indians are burning brightly, the Red Sox are on the verge of being extinguished.
"The scene switched in a blink," Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "Everything is kind of slipping away, but we're still playing. If we don't win, we go home. We've got to get to the ballpark and get a win."
Blake homered leading off the fifth against Boston knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, whose now-you-see-it-now-you-don't pitch had Cleveland's hitters flailing at air for nearly four innings.
But in the fifth, helped by a dropped foul pop and a ball seemingly headed for an inning-ending double play that tipped off Wakefield's glove, the Indians blew it open by hanging a seven spot on the scoreboard—just as they did in the 11th inning at Fenway Park to win Game 2.
"It's one of those innings that everybody exploded," Blake said. "I can't really tell you what happened. We got some good swings on the ball and we were finding holes."
Cleveland batted for 35 minutes in the fifth, and the down time seemed to hurt Byrd, who gave up back-to-back homers in a seven-pitch span to Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz to open the sixth before Indians manager Eric Wedge rescued him.
As Byrd walked to the dugout in favor of rookie Jensen Lewis, Cleveland's towel-twirling fans saluted the 36-year-old, who instead of trying to blow pitches past hitters, uses off-speed stuff to fool them.
"My goal was to move the ball in and out," said Byrd, who used the same strategy to beat the Yankees in the Bronx last week. "I really didn't strike anybody out. I was hoping to jam some people."
Byrd even found an extra mile or two on his fastball.
"I hit 90 mph," he joked. "That happens a few times a year."
Lewis replaced Byrd and gave up a homer to Manny Ramirez, who posed to admire his 451-foot shot, as the Red Sox became the first team in ALCS history to hit three straight homers.
They came too late as the Red Sox missed a chance to even the series and now must hope they can conjure up some of their 2004 magic when they came back from an 0-3 deficit, beat the Yankees four straight in the ALCS and swept the St. Louis Cardinals for their first Series title since 1918.
"We definitely got our work cut out for us," third baseman Mike Lowell said. "But I don't think we should look at it as we've got to win three games in a row. We've just got to win two days from now."
Byrd found his unique windup almost by accident. Following shoulder surgery in 2002, he began swinging his arms, hoping the momentum it created might give him more velocity. After trying it out during batting practice, a few teammates told him they had a hard time picking up the ball.
That's all he needed to hear.
Against the Red Sox, he even double-pumped a few times—once on a strikeout pitch to Ortiz.
"The double pump was 1-for-3 tonight. I gave up a couple hits," Byrd said.
As he answered questions at the news conference podium with Byrd standing nearby, Blake called his teammate Cleveland's postseason star.
"At least in my eyes, he's the MVP of our team right now," Blake said. "When we've needed a big ballgame out of somebody, he stepped up. And Jake (Westbrook) last night, too. Byrdie is the unsung hero."
Rafael Betancourt needed just six pitches to get through Youkilis, Ortiz and Ramirez in the eighth, then the righty finished off the Red Sox in the ninth.
Boston has been haunted by past Oct. 16 failures, and Blake's leadoff homer in the fifth must have stirred painful memories across Red Sox Nation. It was on that date that New York's Aaron Boone opened the 11th inning of Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS with a series-clinching homer—off Wakefield.
Blake, Cleveland's clutch third baseman who has hit several big homers this season, drilled an 0-1 pitch over the wall in left. Franklin Gutierrez followed with a single and Wakefield plunked Kelly Shoppach. A groundout moved up Gutierrez, and Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a foul pop toward the photographer's pit next to Boston's dugout.
Youkilis, the first baseman, seemed to have it under control, but the ball squirted from his glove. Cabrera then hit a liner—a possible double-play ball — that Wakefield deflected and trickled behind the mound.
"It was hit right at me, but Wake stuck out his glove," Pedroia said. "Things like that kind of happened all night. But we're still alive and still playing. The opportunity is there."
Wakefield was pulled after 4 2-3 innings—the third straight Red Sox starter to last exactly that long in this series. Manny Delcarmen couldn't stop the Indians' onslaught, either.
Peralta, Cleveland's Mr. October 2007 with a .406 average and nine RBIs in the postseason, homered over the wall in right to make it 6-0. Kenny Lofton singled and stole second, his record-setting 34th career swipe in the postseason, and Blake, who started the outburst, dumped an RBI single.
At that point, Indians fans started thinking about what's on deck for Cleveland—a chance to clinch a pennant at home after winning AL titles on the road in 1995 and 1997.
"It means a lot for us," Victor Martinez said. "We've come a long way. To be in this spot right now, it's amazing."
By scoring seven runs in an inning twice in one series, the Indians matched the 1970 Baltimore Orioles, who did it against Minnesota. … Of Cleveland's 51 runs in the postseason, 27 have come with two outs. … Youkilis was charged with an error on a pickoff attempt in the sixth, his first miscue in 1,644 chances dating to July 4, 2006.

Each clip in the series provides a behind-the-scenes peek at the band's sessions, courtesy of Ernie Ball. This episode puts the focus on Slash, producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette and Slash's guitar tech, Ace Bergman, who discuss the challenges associated with keeping Slash's guitars in tune. "There's a whole lot of voodoo witchcraft," Bergman says.
Slash and Bergman also discuss the "Appetite Les Paul," which is a mid-Eighties Kris Derrig custom Les Paul copy, and all the other guitars used during the sessions.
Be sure to check out Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here and Part 4 here.
Stay tuned for the next episode and news about the upcoming album!

Usage notes[edit]
Don we now our gay apparel
This appears to be less than straight forward and very Yoda-like.
- Many gay people prefer not to be referred to by this noun, feeling that being known as "gays" depersonalises them and reduces them to little more than their sexual orientation. The terms they prefer use gay as an adjective only (as in "gay men").
I hardly think that the use of "gay" for homosexual can be considered slang anymore. It has become over the past 30 years the primary meaning of the word and today the previous meanings can be considered obsolete. "gay" as a synonym for "lame" or "boring" or "uncool" certainly should be labelled as slang.
I don't see any difference between meanings 3 and 4, 'homosexual' and 'pertaining to homosexuals'. We should combine them. The translations are all the same, too. RSvK 02:59, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- The difference is slight but there is one. A "gay bar" is one intended for homosexuals but is not itself homosexual. Some of the translations do differ - see the Finnish (assuming these are correctly numbered). Some languages use a prefix for the "intended for homosexuals" sense but a separate word for the "homosexual" sense. So I feel this distinction is justified. — Paul G 08:35, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I very much doubt that gay in (the former) definition 4 is an adjective at all. It is a noun. Consider something like salad dressing, which is a dressing intended for salads, but salad certainly isn't an adjective. Ncik 10 Mar 2005
"while others feel that political correctness is hindering the natural progression of the language."
Oh, honestly... If someone is so irked by the statement that a pejorative usage actually does offend the people it is intended to insult, as to raise the tired old bugbear of "PC"... I suggest deleting the entire paragraph, and changing meaning 5 to indicate that it is pejorative slang, so that bigots may read this entry free from moral chastisement. Or would that yet be too "PC?" Baixue June 17th, 2005
I've been looking up the etymology of the word. i don't see anything that supports the idea that it comes from gaudium--tho no one really knows and i didn't find anything that says the meaning homosexual comes from arabic and then french. i might not have looked in the right places so i didnt want to delete those statements. but if someone does get a chance to research some more that'd be great.
Arabic word[edit]
(Though the homosexual sense of the term is said to have come from an Arabic word via French.) 11 mar 2004
Funny, according to the archive on wikidtionary this sentence has been added the day of the terrorist attack in Madrid. I would like to know what is this arabic word.
- gay
- 1178, "full of joy or mirth," from O.Fr. gai "gay, merry," perhaps from Frank. *gahi (cf. O.H.G. wahi "pretty"). Meaning "brilliant, showy" is from c.1300. Slang for "homosexual" (adj.) is first recorded 1951, apparently shortened from gey cat "homosexual boy," attested in N. Erskine's 1933 dictionary of "Underworld & Prison Slang;" the term gey cat (gey is a Scot. variant of gay) was used as far back as 1893 in Amer.Eng. for "young hobo," one who is new on the road and usually in the company of an older tramp, with catamite connotations. But Josiah Flynt ["Tramping With Tramps," 1905] defines gay cat as, "An amateur tramp who works when his begging courage fails him" Gey cats were also said to be tramps who offered sexual services to women. The "Dictionary of American Slang" reports that gay (adj.) was used by homosexuals, among themselves, in this sense since at least 1920. Ayto ["20th Century Words"] calls attention to the ambiguous use of the word in the 1868 song "The Gay Young Clerk in the Dry Goods Store," by U.S. female impersonator Will S. Hays. The word gay in the 1890s had an overall tinge of promiscuity -- a gay house was a brothel. The suggestion of immorality in the word can be traced back to 1637. Gay as a noun meaning "a (usually male) homosexual" is attested from 1971.
Is the "happy, joyful, and lively" usage for gay archaic? 24 22:09, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- No, I don't think it is. It still meant that less than fifty years ago. I'm going to remove the tags. --188.8.131.52 12:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Why appending homosexuality to 'gay'; how did it come to that homosexuality was being placed under 'gay' term (with its foremost meanings of 'being lively, joyful, bright, merry')? Implying that not-gay men are then not-lively, not-bright, not-...? --220.127.116.11 08:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Because homosexual is what it usually means in Modern English. It is rarely used in the meaning of joyful and merry anymore except in a few stock phrases and traditional songs, and even those are usually avoided because they tend to be misunderstood. —Stephen 08:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Homosexual as a medical term[edit]
I disagree that homosexual is a medical term. This word was the first word to be invented to identify gays, back in the 1860s. I feel that gays reject homosexual because it sounds too old-fashioned and old-school clinical (i.e. prior to the 1970s when homosexuality was technically considered a mental problem). The word used for gays in the medical community is Men who have sex with Men
- That would be a phrase rather than a word, but I can see this may be intentful sarcasm. Ty 03:47, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I feel like adjectival sense 6 doesn't say quite what it's trying to. Firstly, it's labeled "pejorative", which seems very obvious from its content (is there a non-pejorative way to call someone annoying, boring, negative, or unappealing?); I think the intent was to indicate that it's an offensive extension of senses 3–5, but it's too much to expect the word pejorative to convey this. Secondly, I don't think the word means "disliked" in any real sense; to call something gay is to express one's own dislike for it, certainly, but that's really not the same as saying that it's disliked. I think the solution to this is to completely remove the content of the sense, and only give a label; perhaps something like the following:
- 6. (By extension) (offensive) used to express dislike.
Thoughts? —RuakhTALK 05:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- I agree completely Ruakh... —This unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) at 21:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC).
- I don't. Part of what a dictionary does is mark the obvious, which is why dictionaries are gay. I think marking it vulgar slang or slang alone is fine. Compare lame.--Halliburton Shill 01:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- No, but it's more pejorative than it is offensive. I'm saying that the "offensive" is over-doing it and vulgar may be a better alternative. It seems to be less offensive than being called lame, which is more like being called gay and a poser simultaneously.--Halliburton Shill 04:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oh! We've been mis-communicating. The term is offensive in that it's offensive to gay people to use a term for us as a generic pejorative. I see how that could be confusing, though; can you think of a less ambiguous sense label for that? —RuakhTALK 07:15, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- No, I was going to ask you. The thing is that gays, at least from the references provided so far, have no problem with and may even like the sense. My opinion is basically formed from how we've marked other terms. Nigger is marked normally offensive, often vulgar. Poser is (maybe was as I think I'm about to change it) marked derogatory (maybe pejorative would be better there as it's not applied to a fixed group but to anyone). Faggot (including fag), the equivalent for gays of calling someone black a nigger, is marked only as pejorative. Fairy and queer are marked as derogatory (and probably are offensive 90% of the time to gays). Bitch is marked as derogatory, vulgar, and slang, son of a bitch as pejorative slang, redneck as slang, motherfucker as strongly vulgar. Spic is marked derogatory and an ethnic slur, but not offensive. Chink is marked as an ethnic slur and pejorative slang, but not offensive. Nip is marked as ethnic slur, but derogatory and not as slang or offensive. I guess I'm saying from this brief study that there's a lot of inconsistency in Wiktionary in how words I view as worse than gay and as easy candidates for offensive are marked. All slurs, racial or otherwise, should at a minimum be marked derogatory or pejorative, and probably vulgar. Whether they are derogatory seems to depend on whether it includes a group by definition. Whether they are offensive or not seems to depend more on the perception of the group that's at the receiving end.--Halliburton Shill 11:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oh! We've been mis-communicating. The term is offensive in that it's offensive to gay people to use a term for us as a generic pejorative. I see how that could be confusing, though; can you think of a less ambiguous sense label for that? —RuakhTALK 07:15, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

- Re: "The thing is that gays, at least from the references provided so far, have no problem with and may even like the sense.": Eh? I can't speak for anyone else, but I find it offensive when people treat the word gay as an insult, because what they're really doing is using the word in sense 3, and consider it an insult to call someone homosexual. I think that the reference provided implicitly recognizes that it's offensive to use the word gay as an insult, because otherwise it would be meaningless to speak of "reclaiming" the phrase. It's like how the n-word is offensive, but black people have reclaimed it, and some use it among themselves both as a compliment and as an insult.
- Re: "I guess I'm saying from this brief study that there's a lot of inconsistency in Wiktionary in how words I view as worse than gay and as easy candidates for offensive are marked.": Well, is this inconsistency a problem? As long as each is labeled acceptably, even if different acceptable labels are used, I think that's fine. (Consistency would of course be preferable, but would probably require a Wiktionary:Beer parlour discussion, and I'm currently getting a bit sick of those; recently they've tended not to accomplish much, either because people don't participate, or because people dig in their heels.) - RuakhTALK 19:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- (moving back to the left...) Alright, I think I see what you're saying. If John calls Richard (a random heterosexual person) gay due to Richard being totally lame, John doesn't mean it as an offensive (ie, 'I'll never speak to you again!') remark, and Richard doesn't take it that way; it's only mildly negative — hence the label pejorative. However, it is offensive to the homosexual community if John uses the word in the described manner, because it equates gay (= homosexual) with stupid, lame, bad, unwanted, disliked, etc. Personally, I think that the context labels in the definitions of words should reflect their immeadiate connotations, whereas wider implications should go in usage notes. So, what do the two fo you think of giving the definition '# {{context|slang, pejorative}} An adjective used to express dislike of something.' (re-written as such, by the way, because our current definition suggests that a 'gay film' is a 'film used to express dislike'!), and then pointing out in a usage note that this usage is offensive to homosexuals? — Beobach972 20:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes to the definition, no on the usage note, at least as worded. I'm not aware of gays requesting that "gay" no longer be used as a generic pejorative. It hasn't been cited yet anyway. I agree with Ruakh in principle that it would seem potentially offensive and at least derogatory, but that doesn't apppear to be the case. Marking it as pejorative slang, however, is enough warning to lamers that they probably don't want to use it that way in court or a job interview.--Halliburton Shill 21:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, but "gay" isn't a noun meaning "An adjective used to express dislike of something", either. If we're just going to describe the sense (as I originally thought necessary; see above), then I think an italicized Used to express dislike is sufficient. That said, it does seem possible to define the sense as something like "Lame, uncool, crappy", and I think that's probably the ideal. As for the sense label, I really don't think it's necessary to label a term "pejorative" whose definition makes that clear. The label "pejorative" is really mostly useful for something like the n-word, where the (ordinary) definition is simply "black person"; it's not a pejorative because of its definition, but because it's a pejorative word with that definition. (That said, I don't particularly object to labeling it such, if you think we should.) And as for the usage note, it's probably best to say that this use can be offensive to homosexuals. As the Salon.com article notes, some urban gays and allies had started to reclaim the term in 2000, but that's not (in my experience) its most common use, and I'm sure that even those people who have reclaimed it would be offended if they heard someone use it and mean it — in the same way that blacks who have reclaimed the n-word would still be offended if they heard a white person use it pejoratively. (By the way, in comparing this use to the n-word, I'm in no way claiming that it's as offensive; I'm just drawing a comparison to a clearer-cut case.) —RuakhTALK 02:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- By the way, another thought would be to define it as disliked by the speaker or such. Or dislikable (hmm, on second thought, maybe not). — Beobach972 02:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- As for the pejorative label, I almost agree with you — but then, I suppose there are non-pejorative ways to express dislike. You actually make this point ('it's not a pejorative because of its definition, but because it's a pejorative word with that definition') with regard to nigger... John could say Richard and his disagreeable suggestions! or Richard and his gay suggestions!, but one of those sentences is pejorative (and if you were a non-native speaker who had never before encountered the sentences, you couldn't figure out which one). To address Halliburton Shill's concerns: if we don't include a pejorative tag, I think the slang tag will alert speakers to the term's register, and stop them from using it in a job interview. —This unsigned comment was added by Beobach972 (talk • contribs) at 02:33, 14 June 2007. (Sorry, I forgot to sign both paragraphs. — Beobach972 18:09, 14 June 2007 (UTC))
- Re: the "pejorative" label: I'm not sure I see the difference; "Richard and his disagreeable suggestions!" also seems to be "disparaging" and "belittling" — to use terms from our definition of pejorative. (I'd also say it's "derogatory" in the traditional sense, but that word has taken on connotations of bigotry or chauvinism, and disagreeable does not fit that bill.) If you see a difference, though, then I must reiterate that I really don't object to a "pejorative" label, it just seems unnecessary to me. —RuakhTALK 03:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Disagreeable is disparaging, and perhaps belittling, but gay is somehow more so... disagreeable doesn't exactly merit a disparaging label, because it's a formal word (and therw isn't a non-disparaging way to disparage somebody), but gay might — or perhaps all of the connotations are covered by slang. I'm indifferent but could support including the pejorative label, and Halliburton Shill has included it, so I suppose we'll leave it. — Beobach972 18:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Changed for now. I'm not 100% on pejorative. It may be that slang is enough, but I guess the point is that it's being used outside it's standard meaning and in a negative way. In terms of connotations/usage, it's more like a statement that the gay thing has something wrong with it as opposed to perception only. Check out ghey, which I noticed browsing Category:Pejoratives.--Halliburton Shill 04:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Good point. I do find it amusing that no one of us is really in support of the pejorative label, yet we seem to agree on placing it there... :-p heh. — Beobach972 18:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Good job on the example sentence for the disliked sense, Halliburton Shill. I've added a 'translation' of sorts, like we do for foreign language quotations, to address (my own) concerns about misunderstanding of the definition. I've also added the more gay adjective forms to the entry, on the model of homosexual, after verifying that they are in use (NB: for all senses, not just the homosexual sense). — Beobach972 18:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Page protection[edit]
Should we semi-protect this entry? (Then users would have to register and log in in order to edit it.) The Wiktionary:Protected page guidelines say that "unless there is good reason to protect a page, it should be unprotected"; I'm not sure if "vandalized by anons about once a week" is a good enough reason, especially since anons (possibly guests from the other Wiktionaries) do occasionally help by adding translations. Any thoughts? —RuakhTALK 02:46, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- The definiton is fixed enough and the abuse, though almost always silly and obvious, is frequent enough that if it's annoying you enough to ask because of the reversions necessary, semi-protect. It's probably too much to create some sort of guideline, but for articles that are essentially finished and the targets of those that should be spending a lot more time reading than writing, I support semi-protecting them all.--Halliburton Shill 06:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, unlike at Wikipedia, no entry here will ever be "finished", because there are thousands of languages we'd need to add translations for. —RuakhTALK 17:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- I say don't protect, for two reasons : firstly, as you said, anonymous contributors do add useful, helpful information; secondly, making the vandals log-in wouldn't help, because as it is, we can block the IP addresses for a few days and (I believe, but I could be wrong) prevent them from creating accounts to continue vandalising stuff, whereas a user whose username is blocked can (again, I could be wrong) log-out and create another. (The first reason should be enough to leave the article unprotected.) As for vandalism concerns : currently, the vandalism is easy to revert, so I don't think it merits protection... if editors were vandalising this article every five minutes, I'd be of a very different opinion. — Beobach972 19:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, unlike at Wikipedia, no entry here will ever be "finished", because there are thousands of languages we'd need to add translations for. —RuakhTALK 17:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Dated and slang[edit]
I noticed that some of the older uses of the term are tagged 'dated', as to imply they are not in use. One thing I found about the emergence of the pejorative use of 'gay' was that it seems the larger populace was trying to find uses for the term of their own volition outside of homosexual reference. I believe this includes (perhaps in a whimsical fashion) the resurgence of the use of traditional definitions such as happy as people take an interest in the etymological roots.
I believe we may be making terms seem more outdated than they actually are by the age of some of the reference, like going back to the 1800s, when clearly Fred Estaire was in the 'Gay Divorcee' so it was still in use in the traditional fashion for some time prior to the sexual revolutions of the 60s/70s. Furthermore I am wondering: when the term 'gay' initially developed as a positive expression of self-identification for the homosexuals, wouldn't it have been slang? Do we not consider the application of gay to homosexuality slang anymore because it has been use for so long? What I am wondering is, how do we determine what the Wiktionary policies should be in terms of how long and how popular slang must become before we consider it a standard part of the language and not slang anymore? I imagine there might be people who would contest both adding 'slang' (indicating newness or improperness' to the third numerical bullet (homosexuality) but that I would similarly face opposition adding 'outdated' to it. It seems like a complex issue: how long do we need to observe the pejorative use of 'gay' until that ceases to be slang and becomes as valid a use for the word as homosexual? Ty 03:47, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
The second footnote for the adjective is too long, so i think it should be shortened. Also the footnote makes stereotypes and generalized sweeping statements which can be offensive to some. I will make an edit to address that. Pass a Method (talk) 05:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- It is not a footnote, it is an example of usage. It does not matter if an example makes stereotypes or sweeping statements, or even if it is offensive to some. It is only there to serve as an example of how the word is used in that sense. —Stephen (Talk) 08:25, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- Actually it does matter if it uses stereotypes or is offensive to some. Should we illustrate women with a sentence "Women are generally less intelligent then men."? Why we need made-up sentences to illustrate when we could and should have citations in their place is beyond me, but if we are to have example sentences, they must be good examples, and the instant you've offended the reader or made them start arguing with your example, you've distracted them from their usage of the dictionary. Unlike a citation, you can't distance yourself from an example; a Wiktionarian wrote it, and other Wiktionarians didn't edit it.--Prosfilaes (talk) 08:54, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks prosfilaes for seeing my point. Pass a Method (talk) 09:12, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- And the offensive stereotype would be what, exactly? (BTW, you've repeatedly edited this page to try to introduce the term hetero. That seems to have been your main goal. If you give up on that, then I for one will be much more inclined to listen to any other points you might have.) —RuakhTALK 13:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- The stereotype is that young people today would rather end up as domestic partners. That is an offensive stereotype to me. 188.8.131.52 06:22, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see where you're getting that from. The sentence mentions neither "young people" nor "domestic partners", and the whole sentence is about how not everyone is doing the same thing — almost the exact opposite of a stereotype.
- That said, I'm not terribly attached to the sentence. As I recall, my main goals when I wrote it were something like (1) to exemplify the phrase gay wedding, whose entry was being discussed at RFD (and was soon deleted — see Talk:gay wedding); (2) to exemplify both the phrase gay and lesbian and the word gay alone, to drive home the point (made in the definition) that this sense of gay sometimes means same-sex and sometimes means both-male; and (3) to exemplify some common modificand of gay and lesbian. I still think that those are all good goals for an example sentence for this sense, and I'd prefer that if it's changed, the new sentence fulfill those goals as well; but I'm open to other ideas for what the sentence should do instead. There are always trade-offs; a single sentence can never do absolutely everything we might want.
- —RuakhTALK 13:23, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
- @Equinox, i mainly discourage the use of the word "straight" because it indirectly implies that gays are crooked. I have actually seen people use it in that way. Not sure how you could interpret that as a dangerous view. Pass a Method (talk) 20:16, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- What would you think if I decided that the work gay is offensive (because it implies that heterosexuals people aren't gay ("happy, joyful")), and started changing every occurrence of the word gay to homo? You can't just decide out of the blue that something is offensive and start changing it. It might be, I don't know, but at least discuss in the Beer Parlour. — Ungoliant (Falai) 21:03, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thats actually a good point you made there. Hadn't thought of it that way. Pass a Method (talk) 11:44, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
This entry has survived Wiktionary's verification process.
Please do not re-nominate for verification without comprehensive reasons for doing so.
"Sexually promiscuous (of either gender)" was added as a definition of gay recently. I suspect that even if there is a citation or two, they can be interpreted as a use of another sense.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:37, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Can it really? Being promiscuous and being homosexual are not the same thing. On the other hand there seemed to be quite many "homosexual" senses. --Hekaheka (talk) 03:19, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I probably should wait to see the citations before questioning them; there may be some perfectly clear citations here.--Prosfilaes (talk) 09:39, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've added some citations that I think cover this. I also found a nice citation that points to the origin of this sense at [1]. But at this point, the meaning is still along the lines of "filled with joy." Is there a way to include this to illustrate how the meaning changed? BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 10:47, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I probably should wait to see the citations before questioning them; there may be some perfectly clear citations here.--Prosfilaes (talk) 09:39, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Was reading here:
- The use of "gay" in this particular way was first recorded at the end of the 1970s and developed among US high school students, says Mr Throne. It's not only youngsters in the UK who have recently adopted it, the same has happened to the German equivalent, schwul, he adds.
Not sure who Throne is, only mentioned once, but this "first recorded" thing interests me. I'm wondering if we could get more info like a specific date. This is for gay#Adjective number 7 (pejorative) either 1 or 2, not sure. We're really lacking of literary examples of the pejorative used in this non non-sexual schoolyard fashion, with earliest being late 90s rather than 70s. Etym (talk) 21:11, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- (It's Thorne, not Throne.) He comments in the article that "every generation grows up with a whole lexicon of homosexual insults, in my day it was 'poofter' or 'bender'" — so it seems he agrees about the origins not being from the "merry, happy" sense. Equinox ◑ 22:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
Is this really dated?[edit]
Under English - Etymology 1, on definition #4, is it really true that calling something "gay" instead of "uncool" or "lame" is a dated use of the word? I personally find myself using it, and I have seen many others use it, especially on YouTube.

Often referred to as the YOTS or "Year of the Snake", the 2013 Shine 3 is the offshoot descendant of the 2012 Year of the Dragon Shine 2 DK9087 (a tenkeyless version in the shine series). This model, like it's predecessor, comes with a wide array of switch options including Cherry MX Black, Blue, Brown, and Red, and a wide array of LED color options including: Blue, Red, Green, White, Magenta, and Orange.
