anal people would see it as an insult

not anal as in gay :eek:

not that gay is :eek:

or anything but you know, and not that gay people are anal :eek:

or something

not that they're NOT anal either because then that would be weird :eek:

but not anal in the negative sense even though some may be :eek:

If a person calls you weird,it can be a good thing because at least you are doing something different than the norm.

It can be a good thing yes but I think the intention is usually to offend, which is why it's offensive. A bit like calling someone a ****** really :smile:

Bloody hell I really wish that hadn't been filtered out!! And if I try to tell you what it is I'll get warned :frown:

Completely messed up my point there.

Ironic that it was filtered out just as I was saying it's not really an offensive word :p:

^That's true haha. It all depends on what they're pointing out that they think is weird.
An example of this was when I was headbanging at a rock concert(I really don't know how that's weird),and someone called me weird. I thought it was funny.

no i know for a fact she wasn't since i used to be really shy when i first joined and would do weird stuff like stand at the side complaining i was ill for half a session cause i was too embarrased to join in :redface:

she wondered why i went though if i didnt want to do the stuff but i was just to shy every1 was really good! i seriously acted like a r*tard it didn't help that i fancied her
