I think it’s a bit different when the word has been totally abandoned for the previous use. I don’t know anyone who uses ‘lame’ or ‘dumb’ to refer to people with those disabilities. It’s practically an archaic meaning at this point. Gay is still most popular as a reference to sexuality.
I mean thank you, I remember I got banned from a group like 10 years ago because I said the forbidden F-word, they all knew I was pan and trans, but apparently my N-Word Pass expired?
Can’t say the t-word either, I remember before it was a pejorative it was more like a cute nickname.
original meaning: “waaaah I got trapped into thinking a person of the sex I’m not attracted to is hot and now my genitalia is making me feel weird!”
new & improved meaning: this person dressed not as their assigned-birth-sex is so hot they could literally trap me Looney Tunes style by being distractingly attractive 😩
Not the T-Word I meant, I think Trap is still an appropiate term for femboys in a purely sexual context. It’s only offensive when used as a term for transgirls… at least that’s what I’ve heard
I wouldn’t pejoratively call a mute person dumb, a mobility device user lame, or an intellectually disabled person removed
but I will absolutely call cringe political fanatics lame, dumb removed
also here’s some free removed-passes from your friendly internet dyke, cuz “removed” is a great fuckin multipurpose word
This is like saying “When I say ‘that’s gay’, I don’t mean gay as in homosexual, I mean gay as in stupid”.

How do you think they got to be archaic?
New words were found for the original meaning that were less pejorative, causing the slang to take over?
Tom Segura nailed it.

Made me think of this.
if straight women got bleeped when they said “dyke” I’d have a way easier time dating 🫠
just run up to a hot gal with a fake microphone like “TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”
“[bleep]?”
“correct thank you ma’am have a nice day”
“dyke?”
“correct! question 2 are you single and/or dating?”
“TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”
“A levee??”
“… touchè”
I’m confused - does the microphone have gaydar screening and auto-bleep capabilities? I would describe that as much more than a fake microphone.
moreso this is a hypothetical alternate universe where every time a straight woman says the word “dyke” it gets bleeped, a la that South Park clip

I thought they meant the slur that’s also slang for a car’s transmission.
oh yeah! that’s way cutesier-sounding than trap now I think about it

The word I was thinking of is six letter long
I may be happily ignorant, but what is the “f-word” and “t-word”?
