Nope, try again
Cycling colleague ( topical )
Only if you're a professional cyclist even then you would only need the word colleague.
I'm not white mate lol
I'm a wop or Italian before my post gets deleted lol
In that case, fair enough I guess. I had thought we'd moved on to be honest.
eh?!
I 8 Spaghetti.
Then I 8 some more.
you forgot the meatballs lol
I think I replyed to you instead of crosey lol
Perfectly normal and acceptable terminology, I usually describe people i know through work as a colleague as i tend not to have friends at work (by choice, I keep work and private life separate) I occasionally socialise with fellow workers around Happy Holiday time and special occasions, but WTF is mincing around!!!
keeping the personal and the professional separate is vital Nescon
I just asked fruity what mincing around actually means
and he told me to watch monty python ministry of silly walks lol
It's just colleague not work colleague, the word work is superfluous
It shows both my age and the times I grew up in, but I was probably in my mid twenties when I first met someone who was openly gay. Up to that time, my perception of homosexuals was formed by what I saw on television. In particular, Larry Grayson and John Inman - as for what "mincing" means, a You Tube search of something like "John Inman, Are you Being Served" will enable you to see someone "mincing" and will explain the word far better than I can.
Returning to the first gay man I knew, I think it's probably fair to say that most people would have guessed that he was even if he hadn't been so open about it. I met him in work and I must admit to being a bit wary when I was told that I would be sitting at the desk next to him, but that feeling only lasted a matter of minutes or hours at the very most, because I soon discovered he was a kind, funny and generous person.
My perception of what a homosexual was changed forever after meeting him to the extent that I disliked the second openly gay man I came across (also at work) because he went out of his way to play up to the Grayson/Inman stereotype and I always found myself thinking why would he want to do that?
Yes, homophobia is still out there, but things are far, far better today than they were twenty years ago - the day when a top male footballer admits to being gay cannot be too far away and I'd be very hopeful that they would get a lot less abuse than they might have imagined beforehand.
Look it's blue Matt with anecdotal evidence that's something new!
I think the real question is what's your problem with mincing about? Pride marches are to both challenge the abuse and discrimination and about look at me I'm gay and proud of it, hence the word pride.
I completely understand the pride in being gay, that is fine, just do not understand the need to mince while doing it ( so save your next question, TOBW has said how to look for example of mincing )
do you not feel gays can be proud of being gay without mincing and my example wearing a leopard print thong and feather boa ? ?
What little Britain sketch did they go overboard with?
for such a self proclaimed "clever person " ( afterall you do like to throw around the idiot insult alot, so i guess you must be really really clever ) you must know about the only gay in the village
The worst thing about this post though is using "work colleague" how many other types of colleague do you get?
truly pathetic, well done
Look it's Croesy Blue with another post that brings nothing to the discussion except a chance to have a petty points argument which will go on and on and go nowhere as the goalposts will move every single time
but go on then, its raining and i am stuck at home, i will play along and give you some attention for a while till the rain stops
Perhaps to you it is. For me, its a totally harmless expression. If i asked someone from work to a Party that I had organised for someone in my family on their arrival, I would introduce the person to my family as a work colleague, this would make it perfectly clear the relationship between myself and the person, "this is a colleague of mine" doesn't paint the whole picture
It isn't a harmful expression in the slightest it is just stupid, introducing someone as a colleague does paint the whole picture. A work colleague and a colleague is exactly the same thing.
If you want.
Gays can be proud about it without doing that but they also have the freedom to do whatever they want within the confines of the law. It just sounds like it makes you feel uncomfortable which is fair enough but they can do whatever they want, just avoid it if it makes you uncomfotable the same as I try and avoid people who make me uncomfortable without questioning why they do it. People do and like different things you just need to accept that, it's your problem not theirs.
The little britain point just seems weird considerig David Walliams plays the exact same character in several episodes and is apparntley straight.
You really need to get out more.
Or get laid.
I've got 3 girlfriends pal I can't help being educated ;)
