I'll take that as a No :-)

German politician-speak:
- alternativlos (meaning: there is no alternative)
- ergebnisoffen (meaning: a result is unpredetermined)
- sozialschwach (meaning: poor; but the word implies that poor people are also antisocial)

Yes, you've got it. Who wants to see anyone show and talk about crap they brought home shopping?

How is it not a single "Knights who say Ni" reference has been made yet?

That's what I mean: until pretty recently (the last few decades or so, basically), "community" carried the specific connotation of geographic proximity. One could fairly speak of the Jewish community of a given small city, for example, or the gay community centered in a couple adjoining neighborhoods of a major metropolis. But referring to, e.g., all people of Asian heritage living in the U.S. as a "community" stretches the word beyond any real meaning.

Really, over-broadening the usage of previously fairly specific terms (like "hero", "RPG", "roguelike", "pedophile", "Nazi"...) is my biggest annoyance with language use. It's a losing battle, but there it is. :P

And that's obviously why the term caught on, as opposed to simply "GBT" -- people feeling, for whatever reason, that it was a distinction that needed to be made. :) But, from a purely semantic point of view, "gay" is a non-gender-specific term that means (in the modern context) "homosexual" -- not "male homosexual" specifically. Specifying "female homosexual", then "homosexual", is redundant.
(On a somewhat related note, I wonder what the residents of Lesbos think of their island's demonym having been re-purposed? ;P )

Flabbergast! Though, lucky for me, hardly anyone uses it any more.

At least it goes back to ancient traditions :-)

BALDERDASH!

Basically, if you can imagine Mr. Toad from "Wind in the Willows" saying it then it's out. :P

From a purely semantic point of view, 'gay' is non-gender-specific because it means 'happy'. :)
Poppycock!

"Social", "solidarity", and specially, "privileged". The last one becomes particularly funny, in that trainwreck-y way, when you see two people competing to see which one's the "least privileged"; it's like a reverse battle of insults, where they continuously try to belittle themselves, their families and their communities while simultaneously praising their opponent's... only the intent is still to shame the loser.

In fact, most politically-motivated redefinitions I despise; "progressives" for people wanting to regress to the economic system of old monarchies, "liberals" for people wanting to increase the role of the State on the market, "fascists" for people sharing little to no ideological points with Mussolini's socialism, and so on.

I read this thread just to see how many posts it would take until someone mentioned this word. :)

Just call it damp.

Bro, Edgy, bae, queef, SJW. and when someone calls me cupcake..

I can make a bigger list but this is the top ones so far but lord QUEEF makes me shiver for some reason.
