Slog - Comments on Word of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/word_of_the_day_5 The word of the day at Urban Dictionary... Coincidence? Dunno. I do know, though, that Dan and Terry's baby is almost 11 now, and we never once used the term "gaybie" to describe him......

I first heard the word on a Kathy Griffin TV show, probably taped last year or longer ago. She'd been hired to do a routine at a Caribbean resort rented by one of those gay-only vacation outfits. She did a joke about how her gay friends were getting older and tired of circuit parties, so they were all getting "gaybies" in a mad, fad rush. Her jokes completely tanked with the prosperous homos, like she'd shit on the flag or something.

I thought I had made up the word when my husband's friend started "baking" gaybies for her bosses.

The producer was going to a gay baby shower, and they decided it needed it's own term.
