Bored with hearing idiots say kids aren't being homophobic when they use "gay" as an insult? A new survey by The Association of Teachers and Lecturers shows - again - that "gay" has become the most frequently used term of abuse heard in the classroom. This caused a tidal wave of dumb-dumb articles in the press; "What are the gays whining about? It just means 'lame' these days..."

It's become as hackneyed a cliche as ye olde classic; "And 'Gay' used to be such a nice little word..."

Have a look at the top 11 insults that the survey recorded - which almost every report neglected to mention - and see if you can detect any strange patterns emerging. ??

• 1. Gay (83%) ?
• 2. Bitch (59%) ?
• 3. Slag (45%) ?
• 4. Poof (29%) ?
• 5. Batty boy (29%) ?
• 6. Slut (26%) ?
• 7. Queer (26%) ?
• 8. Lezzie (24.8%) ?
• 9. Homo (22%) ?
• 10. Faggot (11%) ?
• 11. Sissy (5%)
