What's wrong with the name undecided

Google would have been a great help to you.

Gay, originally meant Carefree, joyful, light hearted. The term gay laugther is still used today.

At somepoint it became a reference to a cassanova. Man who slept with lots if women. Later it changed to mean man that patronised prostitutes, and even prostitutes themselves. All these are twitching on the carefree life style definition.

Around 1920 is when homosexuals started refering to themselves as gays- in their secret communities. Meaning they careless. Gradually the rest of us caugth on the term. Its an urban definition. In strict English, Gay means light hearted, carefree, joyous, like a sunshine girl.

So a 17th century drink did not mean homosexuals by Mount Gay. Thats probably the name of an actual place.


Apparently there is history:
Mount Gay Rum is named for Sir John Gay Alleyne, 1st Baronet of Four Hills. He was a trusted friend of John Sober, who purchased the Mount Gilboa Plantation/Distilleries from William Sandiford in 1747. Sir John Gay Alleyne agreed to become the manager of the company at John Sober's request. Sir John Gay Alleyne was so effective at leading the company, and earned such a widely respected reputation internationally as a business manager and community leader, that the company was renamed in his honour after his death in 1801 at the proposal of his longtime friend John Sober, whose estate benefited greatly over the years under Sir John Gay Alleyne's effective management.


Yes people answer Gay, from Guy, from Guy Fawkes

I was at a popular large shopping mall, somewhere in Lagos , yesterday, for some shopping and i decided to head down to the drinks section of the store, only to discover this drink with a weird name "Mount Gay"

Hahaha, this drink brand name is weird, As the body holding this drink and enjoying it may be a suspected gay person by other people..

Am just suggesting, that you know how people of today are always curious about one's sexuality.

How much is it? Make I know if the price is right for me to sell
