The other one mate. Not this one, not that one, whichone is whatone. Good to see you.Whichone is you?
Yeah, to the best of my knowledge, it was originally homosexual people who applied the term "gay", as a code word. Well, at least in England. This was just after WWI.The first time I found out what gay "used to" mean was watching Victor Victoria. Beautiful movie.
Edit: Also, "gay" wasn't a slur yet at that time (at least not in my social bubble). It was just what homosexuals described themselves as. Homo and the F-word were the most well-known slurs. (I know it's still not always a slur, but it's not preferred anymore an it's used hurtfully more than it was then, again, as far as I could tell.)
Welcome backThe other one mate. Not this one, not that one, whichone is whatone. Good to see you.
Yeah, AFAIK it became synonymous for homosexual because they were considered to be happier people.
So it was, at least, a logical step in the etymology.

In the US, after WWII, they used "Friend of Dorothy". As far up to Reagan being in power, the US were looking for a ringleader named "Dorothy" who was supposedly responsible for an underground homosexual movement in their military.
The US Civil War song, When Johnny Comes Marching Home, has lines about gay, meaning happy.
So did The Flintstone's theme song - "We'll have a gay old time".
Funny, even intercourse didn't used to mean sex, it meant conversation in the old days.

Grandma's High Rise Apartment ComplexEDIT: Name of new game: Grandma's Legacy?
You mean the one they will be building near the Garage?Grandma's High Rise Apartment Complex
I'm picturing more of an embassy sweets setup ... each suite pre-planned for multi-generational living, plus the full catering of a mid-tier hotel chain for the entire complex (run by Aiko and Mrs. Lee -- the Snuggle Twins will only offer their services to MC by this point. Even Nana is more competition now ...).You mean the one they will be building near the Garage?
Maybe they'll do the Entrance in Marble from the Belgium mountains. Decorated with the Paris beach photos.
(I know, I know... I just can't resist... I absolutely love this other wordly bits that MoonBox adds, I simply can't resist playing with it)

Nope. Not needed.View attachment 4321359
should insert this for clarity
Well so far the preview images are of Priya, Liz & an unknown police officer, and the O'Reilly family, so looking to be a juicy update.I hope v0.69 does not pass up the opportunity for some numerical determinism. Pref involving Liz and Katie.
Ginger is the best spice in lifeWell so far the preview images are of Priya, Liz & an unknown police officer, and the O'Reilly family, so looking to be a juicy update.
The O'Reilly's are 0.70 I believe and we've met the police officer before.....Well so far the preview images are of Priya, Liz & an unknown police officer, and the O'Reilly family, so looking to be a juicy update.
No that is also correct. "Du sprichst Deutsch?" is "You speak German?" and "Sprichst du Deutsch?" would be "Do you speak German?" both can be used depending on the Situation.View attachment 4322197
Forgive my schoolboy level German, but should this not be "Sprichst du Deutsch"?
I remember the more formal "Sprechen sie Deutsch" from school lessons, but for some reason I'm thinking that "Sprichst du" is more correct than "Du sprichst"?
Nah MB is correct with this one, i would guess he has a native German speaker as friend that helps him with something like that.View attachment 4322197

Ha ha, yeah but to be fair, most are. Olde English + Norse + French + German = English.Nah MB is correct with this one, i would guess he has a native German speaker as friend that helps him with something like that.
BUT you are also correct, Idunno what other to say then German is a fucked up language![]()
It doesn't even depend on the situation, both are correct and mean exactly the same thing....both can be used depending on the Situation.
from a German speaker: unfortunately I have to correct you hereNo that is also correct. "Du sprichst Deutsch?" is "You speak German?" and "Sprichst du Deutsch?" would be "Do you speak German?" both can be used depending on the Situation.
