A clip from the segment "Thats Gay" on Infomania, explaining the pop-phenomenon of "no homo":
<object id="ce_91120515" width="400" height="300" data="http://current.com/e/91120515/en_US"><param name="movie" value="http://current.com/e/91120515/en_US"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://current.com/e/91120515/en_US" width="400" height="300" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object>
Has anyone noticed this? I thought I caught it a few months ago and was sure Id heard it wrong. But no. Its real.
Is does anyone else feel really annoyed by this? Am I being a cranky old person or is this some ignorant bullshit that somehow squeaks through as poppily-benign? |

| I have never heard of this before. One of the benefits of being completely out of touch with pop culture. |

I've heard it used before, but I thought it was just some ironic internet saying.
I'm no more annoyed by it than any other stupid phrase to come from rap. |

| I think it's actually more than this. Like, men will post 'no homo' m-seeking-m personals online and have perfectly straight guy-on-guy sex. I don't have any examples but it's a thing. I don't think it's benign at all. |
