    He'd have to sing, "Run, run as fast as Paul Merton, you can't catch me, I'm a gingerbread person".

    I have no idea what you are saying or attempting to in that first sentence and "ups such a pathetic insult" makes no sense.

    Sorry I disagree. They were words more commonplace and that's a fact. But always offensive and used as derogatory words till they petered out. As folk realised how offensive they were.

    many words that were commonplace become verboten. That’s exactly the point. Words change. Phrases change. No one today would for example say ‘black as the fire back’. We use phrases and words today that may in the future be looked on as offensive ones. They may not.

    Some take an opposite journey. **** for example started out as a simple descriptor. It then became a taboo a swear word and now it’s making the journey back to being a normal word again.

    All true but I don't feel "man" falls into that category or ever will.

    Am I missing summat.
    I understood or misunderstood you to say Spaz and poof weren't offensive in the day. (Did I say em. Yes as a kid and look back in dismay)
    Always were and are in my view.

    Samuel Pepys in his diaries often talks about a lady's "cunny". And their reactions when he shoves his hand up there in the middle of a dinner party...

    Spaz and poof have always been offensive, you just didn't realise or even care that they were because you were young. It's as simple as that really.
