The Gay Dictionary!

It is funny how words and phrases completely change in the gay parlance. 'Ass' stops being a nasty bottom of a man and emerges as a thing of beauty (even 'bottom' loses it's abysmal meaning and changes into a worth adjective, a common noun and a desirable attribute of a person all at the same time!) 'Asshole' stops being an insult but rather becomes a pleasure point.
I say, we gays have a way of changing everything bad into something constructive and a thing of beauty while the proverbial straight world does the opposite - the way they changed 'gay' from being a synonym of 'happy' to a denotation of 'bad' is well known.
In the gay world, words assume funny meaning when you compare them with the straight contexts. No one frowns at you at a gay gathering when you say, "I wish to fuck you!" (at the most you might be tagged a 'despo'). Walk up to a gay guy and tell him that you're so annoyed with him that you feel like spanking him and he would shy away from in front of you with a sheepish grin on his face.
I have run into these conversational caveats and pitfalls quite a many times. Someone complements you on your blog and your smooth voice and you tell them proudly that you are versatile and the next thing you know is that they expect you to bring the condom as well as the lube :P
