Totally agree. Who in this country would have know that word used in the 19th century in the US of A. My dear wife from Georgia had never heard it used in that way.
And words evolve. For example, take the word "gay". These days, nobody would take it to mean it in the sense of happy go lucky or joyful.
But it takes just
one complainant to take a word out of its intended context to make newspaper headlines.
