Re: When do original meanings fall away?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed on the hysteria. Nowadays it just means "irrational, excessively emotional behavior," without any particular gender bias.

Gross, gyp, moron...actually there's a LOT of words that had their origins in bigotry that's been all but forgotten now, and I say we should let it happen. The only reason many of them are considered offensive by anyone these days is because certain people have to open their big mouths and keep reminding everybody where they came from and what they used to mean, which for the most part I think is something that didn't used to happen much, and we were all better off for it.

Words mean what we collectively come to agree they mean, and if we collectively decide that a once-nasty word is now okay, there's nothing wrong with that.
