Yes, the Boston Globe is an innovater in language...

just came across this in the Boston.Com front page. the first line is a link to the story.

"Can you tell who's gay and who's not?"

And the caption to the picture..

"Gaydar signals are jammed by metrosexuals - straight men who care about fashion, fitness, and grooming."

Gaydar, huh? Sounds like the latest invention of the military (to go with their sex bomb they reported earlier).. either that or a new innovation in their don't ask, don't tell policy.

The term "gaydar" has been around for years.

They're not nearly the linguistic innovator that our president is.

And, geez, you've never heard of "gaydar" before? I thought I lived under a rock

No, never.

An NYU reporter thinks George and Jerry are gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
