What word was used a decade ago before the youth of America decided that "gay" provided sufficient coverage for the topic.
Also, I don't see much sign that most people use gay to mean "sissy lame" but rather simply lame (or disliked). The one teenager I see regularly (the son of a friend) uses it to describe anything he doesn't like. Last Thanksgiving he used it to describe mashed potatoes. And playing a lot of World of Warcraft where I have to put up with unbearable hours of watching teenagers talk to each other I see no such limit on the use of gay as a derogatory term.
