But that then gets into the whole issue of evolution of the language, not to speak of the fact that some words have multiple meanings. Should we not use the word "jazz" because it (perhaps) once meant fornication? Should we not discuss a type of amphibian because "frog" is also a derogatory word in some circles for Frenchmen? If "shuck and jive" originated with southern Blacks and meant clowning, lying and pretense, than why can't anyone use that word about anyone else if that's approximately the meaning intended, since it is now in general use in the American dialect of English?
