The meanings of words can change over time: People from a hundred
years ago would not regconize how the word "gay" is used nowadays.
And it's former meaning has almost disapeared from usage. If the
majority of people began using the term "ziggy" in place of "you are"
then "ziggy" would soon be listed as a synonym for "you are".

You must be very young if you still think that the way things are now
is the way they've always been, and the way they always will be.
