Would I be the only one to think that “my ears are burning” is one kinda gay-prejudiced remark? Like people who say “fabulous”, you’re never quite too sure with them around (unless it’s out in the open, of course).
In this days everything is homophobic, holy shit.
It’s worse than being careful about telling racist jokes. At least you can clearly see people’s races. In this case, many don’t make their sexuality explicit, so yes, avoiding such statements is usually the best.
I mean, one might say “my ears are burning” with a homosexual present, and the guy could get offended. Seriously.
seriously though
“Ears are burning” has nothing to do with being “flaming”. It refers to the burning sensation you feel when you’re embarrassed by someone complimenting you.
Which is an expression people usually attribute to gays, just as “Oh you” and “Shut up! Tell”.
There are tropes that don’t necessarily match with initial expressions and the ways these were used.
If only this overtly PC mentality was around when the classic era writers could rightfully ridicule it.

Yes. And we’ve all got the teats of Davy Jones.
I think you’re over-thinking things, bub. You’re the first person I’ve know to associate this remark with homophobic slurs.
I’m with Torbiecat on this one. I have never… EVER… thought of this as any kind of stereotypically “gay” comment, and as far as I know no one who has said it near/to/around me has meant it as such. Perhaps you mean the sing-song, higher pitch that Homer USES when he says it, but I wouldn’t read that much into it.
That just proves once again that U.S. mentality and Quebec mentality are different.
Motherfuck him AND John Wayne!!!!
Vive le Quebec… vive le Quebec LIBRE!
Oh, he lives in Quebec.
See how he is better than us.
Hahah. Your Homeland Security douchebags (such as the guy above) make no mistakes about letting people with Russian family names into Pindostan.
You might also ask someone if their ears were burning if you were talking about them:
“Hey Stan, were your ears burning yesterday?”
“No, why?”
“Because me and Charlie were talking about you last night at Moe’s”
That’s how you say it in English? Really? In Russian we say that someone was “hiccuping” if their name is mentioned.
Go back to invading Ukraine and messing with their internal affairs, you gay-obsessed man
Fuck Ukraine, man. It’s too far away. Let them sort their own problems out.

I’m not sure why but this website is loading incredibly slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
As Ted Stevens would say, I understand the particular series of tubes which DHS run on has been overwhelmed by Stan’s latest dump truck load.
