    Bitch (as it applies to dogs).

    I hear people say all the time that this has "a legitimate use outside of swearing", but I have yet to hear anyone use this other than a swear word.

    In general people do not say bitch to refer to female dogs anymore. But my family raises show dogs and you call female dogs bitches. That's just how it goes. If you go to a dog show and say female dog all the time and avoid saying bitch, you're going to be looked at strangely :p .

    And radical -- that's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turle word. :p

    Ruth (the opposite of Ruthless)

    Incredible (in its original sense of literally meaning unbelievable)

    "Coo!"

    People who shout "Coo" should be shot.

    Personally, I do use most of the mentioned words. "bitch" for dogs, and "incredible" for unbelievable namely.

    I never really hear anyone say "gay" in the context of happiness anymore though. There seems to be this whole social stigma about it.

    Shame on you Tolken readers!

    "eleven teenth"?
    "A faggot of wood"?
    "queer folk"?

    And the one that really stumped me:

    "Gaffer"

    Hmmmmmm.

    I might know a little group of people that still use the word "dungarees" on a daily basis. But they've changed the style, so they might not be called that anymore...

    Still on topic, I've seen an quite a few girls on the internet, described as "lithe". :D

    Indeed, these days if you told someone to 'throw another faggot onto the fire' you would get warned not to be so homophobic...

    How about new words? Like 'pharming' - that is the deliberate rearing of animals purely for pharmacetical uses :rolleyes:
