Anyway, the 2nd word is a old english word. it is not a obscene word. It means => "happily excited"

I agreed with the first moderator(Harry) to first ask what does the use of word intended to mean before doing any form of censorship.
As for the first deleted word, I would agree that should not be used. (though its just a colorful expression of one's emotional state. And has no obscene implication)
Cheers..

Hi, gen:
I didn't delete Harry's use of the word due to the fact that Harry is asking what "gay" means within the context of the original poster. I interpreted the OP's comment to mean he was NOT having a happy time.
I actually know the alternate [and not often used] meaning of the word "gay" (as opposed to its use as a negative slam against the gay community), due to having purposely used "gay" in a headline I once wrote advertising for a happy time at an event at my university. This was during my younger years, back when I was a Features Editor for the entertainment/arts section of the newspaper.) Yabba Dabba Do: Time to get my Flintstones wheel out and roll it around on the carpet!
I think many of us have access to colorful expressions...there have been many, many times when I wanted to use one on [
name deleted by me]...but I decided not to.
