Just thinking about some of the comments regarding language/culture made me curious as to what different examples we could come up with regarding language-use changes.
My friends and I were discussing the words/concepts of breast/tits/boobs today at work.
The comment was made that earlier in our culture boob was an ignorant person or a person who had little to contribute. Also, in contemporary culture, it seems that saying boobs is more socially comfortable than saying breasts in casual public conversation when referring to a woman's anatomy.
Any other examples ya'll can think of?
