NOT fear of the same (yeh yeh, I know, but lets not argue literal translations of the word).
NOR is it disaproving with flagrant homosexuality or gay pride or toilet sex or whatever (though non of the above would have cause to exist were it NOT for homophobia!).
Homophobia is a rabid fear in men of male homosexuality, and/or the possibility of being treated like one through association, to the point of unprovoked sometimes violent outbursts, vocally or physically, against gay men.
It's existence can be directly connected to the attitude of the immediate environment and local laws.
1. In straight men, it normally has very little to do with fear of any actual gay sex act or gay men, rather it's the fear that, for whatever reason (his job, his peers, police attitude, the religious extremists in his area...) any association with or acceptance of anything 'gay' could mean people might think HE is gay, and he therefore would lose the respect of his peers and maybe even ruin his life (or in extreme cases, END his life!) via the open prejudice he see's enacted against gay men around him.
So he 'acts out' to assure people that he is definitely NOT gay nor would he condone it!
2. With gay (or bi) men its when a 'straight acting' gay is trying to keep the respect of his straight peers and, again, doesn't want to get the prejudice and disrespect he see's enacted towards more obvious or 'out' gay men around him.
He's often deeply in the closet, at least with his straight friends, and very vocal about his dislike of queers and how very straight he is, even when unprompted! He may even have a girlfrend or wife or even go gay bashing, and it's these sorts of guys that keep alive illicit homosex in toilets and sauna's and such, as they need to keep hidden.
You don't get so much of it in more liberal inclusive societies where it isn't considered socially unpalatable or dangerous to be gay, or with guys who are totally assured in their heterosexuality, as the fear of being perceived as gay is no longer present.
On a personal note, how come all gay prejudice, anti gay laws and religious dogma is only ever directed at gay MEN when all arguments for it's justification should apply to either sex!? That in itself shows homophobia! Maybe if The Pope just lost the frocks...
1. 'Backs against the walls lads, don't bend over, don't let him look at your cock when you piss, no you CANNOT buy me a drink you fucking queer, GET AWAY FROM ME!!!'
2. 'Backs against the walls lads, don't bend over, don't let him look at your cock when you piss, no you CANNOT buy me a drink you fucking queer, GET AWAY FROM ME!!!'' <later has sex in a public toilet with a random married guy then eases his guilt by gay bashing the out ones outside the local gay club>

Extremely addictive highly illegal easily obtained but expensive drug.
The main reason why most crimes are committed.
Slow, joyeus, inevitable suicide in a syringe..
Rob slowly sold all his possessions, witheld his rent, got into petty thievery, sold his arse on the street, murdered that old lady, got a lenient sentence due to 'diminished responsibility' and eventually died of an overdose on release from prison, oh the joys of Heroin.

Tea with added grass. Gets you spaced, hence space tea.
Take a cafetiere about 2 mugfulls big and put 3 teabags of your choice into it (I prefer citrus fruit flavour though peppermint works well too) and about 1 small bud of green, chopped or pulled apart. Add the boiling water and wait about 5-10 minutes. Press down the plunger a few times to mix it all up & serve, preferably in small glasses such as moroccan tea glasses. Add sugar to taste, drink. Get spaced. Watch an old 70's sci fi DVD at double speed with the sound off and play some chilling muzak. Chat. Giggle.

Comes in many forms, but generally a little bottle bought from a sex shop or 'alternative' establishment with specific instructions on it NOT to inhale it deeply through the nose, which is precisely what people do with it!
Used by clubbers and teens to elicit a brief, short lived high and longer lived sense of being naughty, or by anyone trying to insert large objects up their anus for pleasure when not yet in possession of a mangina, thanks to its muscle relaxant qualities.
Migraine in liquid form.
Ere son, take a sniff of this and think of England!

Self defined temporary bi-sexual status visited upon an otherwise totally straight guy to excuse the fact that everybody knows last weekend, after 8 pints, a pill and some unsuccessful attempts to score some ass, he went back with a gay guy to get his cock sucked.
Usually when said beer queer gets a NEW girlfriend his new found minority status will fly back into the closet so bloody fast it ends up in fucking Narnia, probably never to be seen again!
Malcom's started telling everyone he's bi since he went home with John, but he was only bloody beer queer!

The verbal diarrhoea and bizarre speech strong drugs (not necessarily Heroin) cause in bag heads and Chavs.
They slur, stammer, and speak from the back of the throat in a strange, zombie like, and above all LOUD voice, with entirely random emphasis, and a truly stunnin use of the word FUCK in all its forms, used where there should have been a pause. All apparently with absolutely NO self awareness AT ALL!
See Bez from The Happy Mondays for an excellent example!
Man, Im fuckin WELL in fuckin NEED man, fuck, you know what I fuckin MEAN man, lets DO this fuckin place man, come on, fuck it, I dont fuckin give a SHIT me man, you know what I fuckin MEAN man? FUCK! U got any spare CHANGE man? HEY!! FUCK you man FUCK you!! etc etc etc ad nauseum
