Though the language is currently problematic, it's a valid message.

Back in the 80s, many people lamented how the word gay had been "ruined" for them.

From that time, there was a sketch by Toronto's comedy troupe The Kids In The Hall of a little old lady lamenting how the word f-gg#t had been ruined for her. Back in her day, a f-gg#t was a bundle of dry sticks, "on cold winter nights we'd huddle by the fireplace and we'd throw another f-gg#t in the fire", she says with a sigh.

Then she goes on to say how she used to like fisting - calls it a needlepoint technique - until her friends told her what that word meant now.
She speculates that the word rambler might now mean something filthy, too. All those lovely old words, now tucked away, can't use them anymore.

EDIT: I am using a certain word in historical context here, got censored, so I edited it to see if it now flies under the bots' radar.
