Not only is he dumb for using it but he didn't even know what it meant, is that super dumb?
He is getting quite practised at being dumb these days but he is certainly not alone as there are quite a few contenders but you would not expect any PM to be so naive.
And then for someone who has literally rode his bicycle up a 'one way street' the wrong way, rode around a 'keep left' sign the wrong way, we can come to expect him making a few mistakes because he seems to not think things through enough.0 -

No because it used to stand for lots of love before the internet age and then it was hijacked by text speak with a different meaning. The really dumb ones are the ones who waste their lives texting banal rubbish to other morons all day such that this terminology is second nature.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

And GAY used to mean 'lighthearted and carefree' I hope he doesn't confuse that one or he could have the police knocking on his door

The political correctness thought police need to get their act together. Gayness is now completely legal and open and will shortly be subject to full marriage rights (except perhaps in Anglican churches). One day it might even be compulsory. So where is the insult or denigration ? Nevertheless people who spend their lives looking for some perceived slight, offence, or insult to take umbrage over, campaign against, or take to court will always find something. And if it's not there, they'll put it there.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.

That story above was reported on a Canadian site, this was part of a reader response, shouldn't laugh
Scenario: Billy breaks a window in his neighbor’s car and his Dad gives him a whipping.
1966: Billy is more careful next time, grows up normal, goes to college, and becomes a successful businessman.
2006: Billy’s Dad is arrested for child abuse. Billy removed to foster care and joins a gang. Billy’s sister is told by state psychologist that she remembers being abused herself and their Dad goes to prison. Billy’s mom has affair with psychologist.
And there is more, some Howellers there GeorgeScenario: Pedro fails high school English.
1966: Pedro goes to summer school, passes English, goes to college.
2006: Pedro’s cause is taken up by state. Newspaper articles appear nationally explaining that teaching English as a requirement for graduation is racist. ACLU files class action lawsuit against state school system and Pedro’s English teacher. English banned from core curriculum. Pedro given diploma anyway but ends up mowing lawns for a living because he can’t speak English.

Cameron and Osborne are very outdated, stuck in an eighties groove - they use language like 'bizarre' and 'yuppies' and other words that haven't been in common parlance since they were in the dorm at school! Nadine Dorries waas right. (Plebs morons and prols are another story!)
How can they get the deficit reduction right with an outdated system which is pre-internet,pre-globalisation,pre-mobile phone and pre 9/11 A seventies 'impoverish the population' model wont work any more (as the imf have said today.) Time to fess up!0 -

Oh, really? And an early 20th century Fabian Society model based on the 19th century Marxist claptrap taught by the Millibands' communist dad at the LSE is more 'up to date' is it?
Somewhere a village is mourning the loss of its idiot.0 -
Hmmmnn, Cons to lose 40 seats to Labour says the Mail Online (helped by Ukip) It seems you are in the minority.... Voters gave Osborne a couple of fair chances when he said he'd reduce the deficit but didnt - EndGame for the Cons0
