I remember being in school and hearing teachers lecturing and giving detentions for using slang such as gay, lame, sucks....
I had one teacher when I was a freshman in HS freak out because I told my best friend she sucked...(we were joking around) anyways he went into a long lecture about how the slang terms of today meant something completely different to him when he was growing up (he's in his 60's I think).
Until that point I had never thought that I could be offending someone with my slang....
