a phrase used to indicate one’s displeasure, annoyance, or indifference/neutrality toward any event, especially in day to day conversation, group settings, and moments in an organization in which the user of such a phrase is fairly familiar with the surrounding persons. alternatively, it can be used in sarcasm by the speaker to indicate a playful, uninsulting refusal of a proposal. meaning is partially (sometimes largely) dependent on tone.

once said, it is often repeated by different persons many times, whether casually or with manic, outrageous movement/expression. if a person repeats “gay bacon,” after it has been said already, it implies, “i agree,” or more properly, “i concur,” as the phrase is meant to be somewhat humorous.

originating from northeast lauderdale high school in meridian, ms, this phrase is commonly used by uppercl-ssmen in band or athletic programs; discovered by the former, specifically by two euphonium players, its meaning was derived from airheads extremes, which leave a sour taste in one’s mouth, hence the displeasure indicated in its use.
