I like the definition of gaying, which I still have to explain to my wife. To me the word gaying came into effect when I play Warcraft 2 on Battlenet. The term meant you used a strategy that violated the spirit of the game. It was fun to do to other people because they got really upset. I used to sit in the computer room and laugh so hard at which time my wife would ask what was so funny. I told her I just gayed someone. This is opposed to ganking someone in WOW. She doesn't understand the difference. |
