what?
'''Gay''' was slang, at least in the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st centuries]] on [[Earth]], for [[homosexuality]]. It was essentially synonymous with [[queer]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Damaged Goods (novel)|Damaged Goods]]'') In this sense, it was not necessarily a pejorative, but merely a statement of [[sexuality|sexual orientation]].
 
However, it was also used as a clear insult, meaning ''weak'' or ''lame''. [[Rose Tyler]], for instance, once claimed that the [[Ninth Doctor]] was "so gay" for complaining about the pain of being slapped in the face by [[Jackie Tyler|her mother]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'')
