Don't get me wrong, it's a classic. "Horrible" was meant in the sense that it's very physically intensive compared to almost any other grade 14.

I agree with the posts above - it's the intent behind the word that's important. If it's meant to hurt then we should be concerned. For those using the word - just remember that word has probably been used abusively to every gay man in the past, sometimes accompanied with physical violence. Be thankful you haven't ever experienced that. Is your joke still funny?
