"Yep Gay is something else these days.
Or do they use that now?????
I get confused."

Gay is now also used as a term for something that's stupid or not fit for purpose. That claim a while back which saw someone prosecuted for calling a police-horse `gay` wasn't implying that the horse had homosexual tendencies rather that it was stupid employing a horse in that particular location.

But I would spell it with a Z as that's the way I pronounce it.
The wife's family called it Bobos when it was their kids' bedtime. Must be a regional variation.
