    So is “gay”. Language evolves. Being a linguistic originalist would be a hard and eccentric hill to die on.

    What? Gay always meant happy, jolly etc. it was repurposed and gets weird if used by its original meaning. My good man, how queer! Just means ‘quite odd’, sounds very old fashioned, but never ever meant anything else. What a gay day!
