I remember what I wanted to ramble about last night!

All right, see, thing is, "gay" means happy or fun, right?

So whoever came up with the term "gay" for homosexual relationships must've thought that they were a helluva lot less boring/sad than normal hetero relationships, hm?

And you know, I was thinking, homogenous means something like "same concentration" and homosexual means "same sex", so it's obvious that the prefix "homo" means "same", so why do they call humans "homo sapiens"?

I mean, I'm taking the meaning of "sapiens" from the word "sapient" here, which means "acutely insightful and wise". Hm. Well, that explains why we're so bloody full of ourselves... we think that we're "acutely insightful and wise"???

Ah, back to the point.

All right, so that'd mean "homo sapiens" means "same acutely insightful and wise"; how's that possible? Everyone differs in terms of their abilities, physically and intellectually. So the scientific name for our genus doesn't make much sense, does it?

And also, since you have the word "homosexual" and the opposite is "heterosexual", do you think the opposite of "homogenous" is "heterogenous"?

*goes off to look for dictionary*

Oh, there is!!! And it means just what I think it means!! Ha, I'm a genius; I could just go on adding prefixes to words and come up with new ones, haha....

Oh wait, that is the way that most words are made.

Actually, wait. Nah, most words in the English language are stolen from everywhere else, haha. The "bastard language" indeed. :P

All right, done quite enough nonsensical rambling for so early in the morning... going off to find slashy fics now. :) Lalala...
