re: #346 Obdicut

Yeah, I mean, other cases, in history, of people disassociating themselves from a word because too many people were using it in a nasty fashion, and coming up with a new word.

I can’t think of any, and it’s your proposed solution.

Not in a “nasty” fashion, but words change meaning all the time, and often to the discomfort of those used to the old meaning.

“Gay” springs to mind.
