The Madness of Prowler

I hate when people use this term - period. It's a misuse of the term no matter what - just as you have pointed out. It's pejorative, and yes, they DO mean to refer to your 4th definition - the homosexuals. Bad enough, but to add to it, they don't even have the COURAGE to stand up to that. They are COWARDS, too. They try to back out of the CONSEQUENCES of that slur they just made, by their lame "Oh, I didn't mean homosexual." Uh....so you meant to infer somehow that definitions 1-3 could be BAD? Happy, excited, merry = BAD? Brightly colored? So we should all switch to morose gray? Come ON! Either Clean UP your mouth, or SHUT UP your mouth, or STAND UP for what you say with that mouth at least. (I vote for #1 or 2)
