I think rock_bottom has a point. The way the words are developing are rapidly getting away from their origional meaning. I mean, look at most of the slang that has ever been used and how far it has been removed from its original meaning. Gay didn't always mean homosexual either, it just came to that, and if it now evolves into a negative slang word, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will retain any of its meaning toward homosexuals. Even though it is developing from the meaning of homosexual, I think it's starting to lose that refrence and have a new meaning in context.
