While I totally agree, I think we should be able to, at this point in time, afford the same to 'dumb.' I mean, honestly, 'dumb' hasn't been used medically for quite a long time. I know my brother and my dad had no idea it even was a medical term to begin with. I feel like we've moved on, but then again I really only see people get up in arms about 'dumb' when they're losing an argument and they need to nitpick to try and stay in it. \:

Haha, yeah, I remember I learned that usage of "dumb" from reading the Narnia books as a kid when they talk about talking animals and dumb animals. It confused the hell out of me at first. :P You pretty much only ever see that usage in older books. I suppose now you'd say "mute".

Oh god, coming across the old meaning of dumb in books as a kid was SO confusing. And hilarious.

And ripe for wordplay/puns/whatever, especially when paired with deaf and blind. "Nah, billy can see and hear fine. He's just kinda dumb." LOL.

It might be used somewhere.

I thought it was the same with lame - all my life even my 90-something English teacher said lame was "an old word for people with a limp", so it always felt really damn nitpicky when someone started arguing against it, because realistically a huge portion of the words we use today meant something different a long time ago.

But then it turns out some people DO still use lame to refer to people with a limp, apparently in the health industry or something. :/
