The term started way back. Jack and Elmer were at a gun writer's convention. They both had been hitting the sauce at the dinner, and the stories were getting pretty tall. Finally Elmer could not take Jacks constant rambling about the 270 any longer. Elmer stood up and yelled at Jack, take that stupid little hat you wear and that gay rifle you always use and get the *!@K out of here. Elmer was the first to believe that the 270 is gay.
