not really: faggot used to mean a bundle of sticks & eventually a cigarette in another country. it has always meant a derogatory name for homosesexual in this country. so its not like it used to mean another thing, like it was once the medical, official thing we called people who are homosexuals.
however, moron & idiot both used to mean exactly what retarded does, do i need to stop using those? or is that ok now because of the social justice statute of limitations? Whats the limitation on that? If we stop using "mentally retarded" for 20 years? if so, in 2037 or so, I say our 45th president was a total retard ?
