UnfairRepresent 09/01/19 10:22:12 AM #6:	Girl used to mean boy. And at the time they called girls "Gay Girls" Boy was originally a word to mean a subordinate who was often the young son of the person in question. IE "The Butcher's boy will bring it round to your home later." And because of that somehow boy started to mean young male over time just from usage --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgtc.com/i/bHqCLJF.png https://i.imgtc.com/YnvkpvU.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:926815656] in Gay used t...

Fuparulez 09/01/19 11:39:56 AM #9:	I know an old lady who's first name is "Gay." It was like naming your kid "Joy" back then. If you want a weird meaning shift, look no further than "little girl." In 1960s music it means your girlfriend, leading to some lyrics that sound pretty creepy in this day and age. --- It's the fat upper kitty area, and if you got one I wanna marry ya! <cite>Fuparulez posted [p:926817775] in Gay used t...

People still call their romantic partners baby. could be both OR either, I was mostly referencing little girl. Obviously in the context of the artists later listed it was way more than come on baby lets do the twist.
