Defined by the dictionary "classically" as meaning happy/fair. The general populace though took the word and changed it's primary meaning to something else…being a faggot.
Now when you look up Gay the primary usage is:
adjective, gay·er, gay·est.
of, relating to, or exhibiting sexual desire or behavior directed toward people of one's own sex or gender:
A perfect example of language dynamics and the dictionaries/"Word keepers" following the general usage rather than setting defining the meaning themselves.
The dictionaries simply follow the mass usage of the word..they take a little while to catch up hence why when you look vaccine up NOW it says what you are saying…BUT as I said, in upcoming revisions that will change I guarn-DAMN-tee it.
you cant compare everybody to gays. gays are deviants and its onky natural they would abuse dicktionaries.
irregardless, im familiar hownthe word 'gay' evolved overtime, when i was in school we had english poems that talked about how gay the weather was and the whole class would be giggling,
and we have people, the entire generation surnamed Gay.
buy just because people abused dictionaries doesnt mean we have to endorse those abuses.
if everyone accelerates on seeing amber lights should we change traffic rules to accelerate at the sights of amber lights.
the first 5 seconds of red light is still technically yellow. thats the consensus among most manly drivers. should we change that too. -

I wasn't, I was demonstrating to you a word whose meaning completely changed not via the dictionary but by the general publics use. Again the dictionary bows to the generally adopted use/definition of words...they don't themselves decide the definition.
It's a book of generally accepted definitions, not the defining word on definitions.
It definitely defers to definitions defacto set by the dudes on da street. -

lol,
you based your notion that the english language is dynamic just because the meanings of A FEW words have changed over a century ?
a few words out of tens of thousands, those are exceptions rather than the rules. tens of thousands other words remain meaning the same since victorian times.
tens, of thousands.
damm. the day i need to teach an englishman english. -

No..MANY words have changed..I used one example as it's a "perfect" example.
Faggot is another word that has changed...from bundle of firewood to "liking da dique in da ass".
There are hundreds of examples but I ASSUMED you were smart enough to get the gist with just 1 example.
CLEARLY I WAS WRONG IN THAT ASSUMPTION. -

well im a scientific and data oriented guy.
so tell me, how many english words are there and how many have had their meanings dynamically change and/or reoriented.
what is the ratio. -

A scientifically minded person would do their own homework...that's how I know you're a barista and not a scientist. -

Well to show that you'd have to publish your actual scientific paper demonstrating the work you've done and the ratio you came up with...simply declaring you did the work doesn't "show" shit other than you are a capable bullshitter

no, no.
being scientific doesnt mean you have to be a published scientist just as being religious doesnt mean you have to had bibles written and published.

tucker carlson : oooooo. 5.
5 words out of .... one. hundred.
and seventy thousand plus words.
in order for what you claimed to be statistically true at least half of english words in use had to have dynamically changed over the course of our lives.
and that means at least tens of thousands. words.
5/170,000 isnt it. -

Um I said publish your scientific paper...here...not that you have to be published in the scientific community
See you can't even understand the basics of the English language. -
