It's not just a word used by gays: urbandictionary.com you should try it some time with a lady friend. You'll probably like it. Since you read all my posts, you'll know I've never thought of it as a gay word. But I get that you do. Thanks for sharing. And now, seeing as how things will never change, I give up. Obviously the personal crap will never stop. And my general dislike for conservative justifies whatever personal crap you and your friends dish out. Noted. Thanks.

She's denying teabagging's a gay term ... baloney. When the CNN & MSNBC gay clowns started using the term and giggling, most normal people (and yes, by normal people I mean heterosexuals) had never even heard of it. Sure non-gay people could do the 'teabagging' thing, and a small handful of weirdos might, but it's mostly a gay thing and everyone knows it. It's like dressing up in leather in a sexual context or wearing cock rings .. anyone (that is, heterosexuals) could do it and a very tiny number of heteros might, but lots of gays do it. I guess I'll get more profane for a minute. There are other terms and practices, like teabagging, that are mostly used by and done by gays ... like rimming and felching and snowballing (I found the last two at the bottom of wikipedia entries while checking I was right about rimming, had to look them up to find out what they were) .... that while anyone ( that is, heteros) could do, in reality virtually no one but gays ever do. All of these terms, like teabagging, are made up by gays to have words for the weird stuff they do. The fact is gay people like weird sht. Sure there are a tiny number of non-gay people who like weird sht too, but with gays the weird sht is mainstream ... that's why they make up words for weird sht that normal heterosexual people don't even know about till the liberal gay clowns on tv let them in on the secret. Let's explore the examples I mentioned above: .... The term was originally used only by homosexuals. [1] Researchers who surveyed over 1200 gay or bisexual men at New York LGBT community events in 2004 found that around 20% said they had one or more times engaged in snowballing ... en.wikipedia.org ..... According to the 2003 draft entry for "felch" in the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest occurrence of the word in print appears to have been in The Argot of the Homosexual Subculture by Ronald A. Farrell in 1972 .... en.wikipedia.org For teabagging and more see: Fantabulosa: A Dictionary of Polari and Gay Slang books.google.com
