Hello Sicc Readers,
I read all comments and I'm really happy that you enjoyed my blog. Please as I have asked before, please give me any words that you want to know about, because I don't want to run out of ideas, and still hearing ideas from other people is nice too. Oh and by the way I'm going to start using a new website to find my definitions rather than Dictionary.com; I'm going to start using: merriam-webster.com/dictionary, because I felt I should try something new.
1. Futile
- Definition from Merriam-Webster:serving no useful purpose : completely ineffective
- My Definition: Has no point to it, Useless to do
- How To Use In Sentence/Conversation: Hey Rafael it's futile to do your homework when its due right now
- So basically futile means pointless, so in the sentence Rafael is being told that it is pointless or,futile, to do the homework that is due at that point
2. Gay
- Definition From Merriam-Webster: 1. happily excited, keenly alive and exuberant, having or inducing high spirits 2. of, relating to, or used by homosexuals
- My Definition: The real definition of gay is to be really happy, or gay can mean a word to label homosexuals, especially homosexual men
- How to use in a sentence: 1. Hey Ryan, you seem to be in a gay mood today. 2. Hey Frank did you know that Didier is gay?
- As you can see there is basically two definitions for the word gay, but nowadays one of these definitions seems to be overtaking the other. Like I said the real definition of gay is to be in a really happy mood. So in the first example Ryan is being asked if he is in a really happy, or gay mood. But like I said now gay is used to define homosexual males, so as you can see in the other example Frank is being asked if he knows that Didier is gay.
- ******** Just to make sure if anybody who reads this becomes offended, then I'm really sorry for this. But just know that I'm doing this from a request from somebody and either way I never intend to offend anyone.
3. Gay
- Ok I know you might be asking yourself why I'm using gay as slang, but now it's also being used as slang
- Definition from UrbanDictionary.com: A generic insult. It can mean bad, stupid, whatever you want it to mean.
- My Definition: Most of cases it is used anyway mostly to say something is lame,stupid,ridiculous or like I said, whatever you want it to mean
- For this one I'm not going to give an example because i think that i have given enough information for you to make up your own way to say it
- So this has been a weird one for me but still I hope I did a good job of shining some light into you, the reader, mind. I hope with this you learned how to use these words even though I wouldn't recommend using gay in slang. But still please give me more words, especially slang words that I may not know. Thanks and please tell me how i did. God Bless!

Hey Vincent
I have read your blog and believe you have a done a good job. As I realized the way you have formatted your past blogs have been unique compared to everyone else’s. I believe that this adds some flavor to the usual three paragraph essays written by everyone else however I believe that should go deeper into your words. Because your doing words and not sentences or phrases its hard to go in depth into the words, but it is possible. I believe that you would add interest into the word if you are able to explain the word, which uses it, why do people use it, and/or when it is most convenient to use it. Your post is good you have both your opinions and facts this gives the blog the sense of professionalism and casualness required for this assignment, the only element you are lacking is details
Maybe for your next word you should use a word, which has more than one meaning like the word you used this month, which was gay, and find the history of this. Well I hope that my feedback can help and i look forward to reading your blog for next month

Thank You

Sicc!
Anyways, one word I love saying (but never really have a chance to say) is oxymoron. It just sounds so....oxymoron-y.
You know what? I think we need to bring back the original definition of gay. It has long been forgotten so we shall need to bring it back!
How about for your next post you use more holiday related 'cool words'?
Hey CHENTE!!
"TORTAS!!"
Lmao, i was tempted.
Very good blog. Wise choice of words!
What are your views on the slang definition of "gay"?
I agree with Flower in a way, you should chose words that are known in slang and show their dictionary definition.
Sup Chente,
I read your blog and it seemed interesting but i agree with hernan that you should go more in depth with the words like finding their history and such.
But Overall you did a good job in your blog and I would like to find out more words to use. Keeping in touch with your blog will help me get more new words. well anyways good job and keep it up
Vincent,
In my opinion changing from resources was actually a good idea because at times dictionary.com is not really that reliable and acuurate.
I actually do agree with you that gay has now become part of a slang word. Im still confused why individuals this days use gay as a slang word when at times it can create a stage of offensiveness in a person.
In my opinion gay shouldn't even be part of a slang word but that's just my opion. We all have different opinons and view of certain things.
Overall, i think you did a great job. Well i hope to learn more about slang words and their purpose.
GOOD LUCK!
After reading your blog and reading our fellow classmates comments i must agree with Hernan about the word choices you did. In my opinion, the word gay isn't really a cool word. For instance, to me they are just regular words that have two different meanings. I believe not being insulting that there are cool words that you could have put besides the word gay. Futile is a nice word and i have this was a good word choice. On the other hand, it is nice to know both of the meanings of the word gay because now all you do is hear people use the word and think it has only one meaning which is the first definition that you gave. Therefore, aside from all the things that you wrote i must say this can be improved and made better.
Well,
words dont have none today.However, i will be commenting you about your blog. You said something about enjoying your blog well this time i enjoy it again. The reason why is because you made me learn something new. I did not know gay was slang. The way you put it made me realize it is very slang. I always tought gay wa a male who is sexually attractive to the same type of sex. Now i know that gay actually means someone joyfull.I think they call the the males that like males gay because they act a little more like females. Females act happy most of the time and with full of joy. From personal expirience i notice they act like that and that is why they are being called gay. Well, i also read that you are trying something new. It is good that you are challenging yourself.

Dear Vincent,
I would like to compliment you on how you break down the definitions. I would like to know how you do it exactly because it would help me with definitions that are unclear to me. I like futile a lot it sounds fancy and really elegant making the person saying futile sound really smart but with a touch of elegance. I agree that in our time when we hear the word “gay” we instantly think about homosexuals & because of this instant thought many people hate hearing the word “gay” or saying the word really not seeing the true definition which means happy.
Sincerely,
Masyeli M.
