Vai kāds vēl atceras laikus, kad vārdam "gay" angļu valodā bija citas nozīmes?

Upon one summer's morning, I carelessly did stray,
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay,
Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seem'd to be in pain,
Saying, William, when you go, I fear you will ne'er return again.
  • man skolā angļu valodas grāmatas pirmais iekšējais vāks bija ar šādu dzejolīti:

    summer is over
    autumn ir here
    schools are open far and near
    when the merry school bell calls
    classrooms are like sunny halls
    full of children - strong and gay
    glad to start their working day
