Gay Nups Birth New Word

Gay marriage has some linguistic side effects over in the Netherlands:

The Dutch Language Union has invented a new word that translates to "birthname" to accommodate married gay men who feel awkward listing their "maiden" names.

The word, geboortenaam, was invented by the union after a civil servant approached the group and explained that it could be "embarrassing" for married gay men to have to list a maiden name on forms, Radio Netherlands reported Wednesday.

"The word was needed because men who entered into a gay marriage had to fill in their 'maiden name' on official forms when they wanted to take on their spouse's surname," the language union said in its announcement.

How do you say "fucking radical" in Dutch?

Dutch is the modern language closest to English. "Geboortenaum" = gay birth name.

^^#4's only function in life is to talk sh!t and poke holes in the lives of others. We should be nice to the psychologically impaired.

Dank U, Meneer Hells. Ja sadly you're right. The Dutch only have themselves to blame for that with all the immigration problems and PC they have brought on themselves. It's a shame though because its a beautiful and fun language and it should have a very special place for Gay people since the Netherlands was the first Nation in the world to legalize same sex marriage. Again, didn't meant to insult you.
