Using the phrase 'no homo' in conversation
Has any of you ever used "no homo" after a sentence, or thought about using it?
For the record, "no homo" does not indicate any kind of homophobia. It simply means, "I realize that what I just said might have a gay subtext, but don't worry; I wasn't implying anything of a homosexual nature."
Examples:
- Dude, you look good in those khakis. No homo.
- I'm glad I saw that musical last night. No homo.
- Pass the hot dogs. No homo.
By the way, I'm not suggesting that non-gay men necessarily should or should not use this phrase; I just want to get a read on who does. Your thoughts?

Never heard it before. I expect it's readily punctured with a snigger and "Yeah, whatever you say."

Never heard of it. Sounds stupid. If people think you're gay because of random crap like that, "no homo" ain't going to change their mind.

Regardless of its intention, it is a term derived from derogatory slang for gay people. Additionally, it is also implying that we cannot say things of an apparently effeminate nature without being associated with homosexuality while simultaneously implying we do not want to be considered a homosexual while saying these apparently socially unacceptable male phrases. Completely ridiculous phrase.

Perhaps generational; never heard it used except here.
At my age I don't give a crap about what another guy would think about my sexual orientation.

I've heard it used amongst people my age (early 20's) and younger, but to the best of my knowledge it's always used in jest. I agree with the rest of you though, it's kind of ridiculous.
