That was highly informative. Literally, every single sentence he spoke was news to me. My pop culture IQ went up by 400%.

I'm old. And don't get out much.

How is it that I haven't heard the phrase "no homo" before watching that?

Me too. The closest I get to pop culture is Slog. Looks like I'm not missing out on much.

Dan, are you watching/posting this on the plane? Your seatmates must be having fun.

I was feeling sorry for you since you seem to be so busy and on the road so much...now I'm thinking you're sitting in first class pounding the vodka redbulls and surfing...jealous instead of sorry, now.

Do they have a straight version? Like no hetro, or something? Like, 'wow it was big and long and juicy... no hetro.' Because I'm looking for something to replace my standard 'that's what she said'...

Does anyone else but me remember the expression "no homo" from one of the SNL Wayne's World sketches? I can't find it on youtube anywhere, but I could swear that's where it's from.

Luckily LanguageLog keyed me in on this phrase last year.

Man I need to show this to my students. They tuck in their shirt and say "No Homo".

It's not gay if the balls don't touch.

Bryan Safi is a personal favourite. Particularly now that Sarah Haskins is no longer on infomania.

I know i've seen that phrase all over the internet but I never knew what it meant until now. I'm off my trend game.

Hey no homo but I'm with @2. Now I'm going to start saying it all the time! No homo, I mean, you know what I'm saying?

I don't have time for all those extra syllables - can I just shorten it to "no 'mo"?

I guess I can be counted amongst the elderly that weren't hip to this at all. But then again, I've just plain never watched the movie or listened to the songs that this catch phrase came from. I mean, "L'il Wayne" just SUCKS (and I can't even claim originality, or superiority on any level, for that statement).

Wouldn't it be cheesy-rich if the dude actually was a faggot?? Man...

Now I have a couple of new websites to get my yucks from and the source of the "That's what she said," thing that I've puzzled over for only the last week or so. Thanks, Dan?

"Methinks he doth protest too much" = anyone who says it. I've always wondered about those guys, now I understand! Just a bunch of closeted Congressmen...

We used to always say "No Hojo," because we don't stay at no Howard Johnsons!

Everyone knows that black people aren't gay, they're "men who have sex with men". Usually on the down-low, because they ain't want none of the faggot crap.
