Re: When do original meanings fall away?

[(Anonymous)]

The other day one of my friends gave a shoutout of appreciation for people who used other words where most people would use "lame," because avoiding ableism is always good! And here I thought most people had given up convincing others that lame is still ableist. Unless you're actually using it for a person with a disability, which I never hear anyone do, I don't make the association when I hear that word at all.

Re: When do original meanings fall away?

[(Anonymous)]

I always thought it was a term used exclusively for livestock, since the only time I heard it was in reference to horses or sheep.

Nonetheless, I appreciate it so much when people do this. I've managed to cycle "lame," "dumb," and "gyped" (which I thought was "jipped," and therefore had no association with transient clans -- the things you learn from House, M.D....) out of my vocabulary. Especially since "gay" picked up more speed, and "retard/ed" always made me uncomfortable, I've been much more aware of things like this.

...It may also have to do with growing out of elementary school, but who's to say!
