    Back in the day, to be straight meant to be honest, as in "Im a straight shooter", and to be bent meant to be dishonest, corrupt.
    Words change meaning all the time. To be gay used to mean to be happy.
    Spastic is another one, there was an organisation called the spastic society and it used to fund raise for children with neuro and nerve damage as that used to cause your muscles to spasm, which they would call a "Spastication", but because children in the 80's and 90's started using the term "Spastic" as a slur for people who were dumb or slow at learning, they had to change the name of the organisation to "SCOPE".

    The terms straight and bent in the context you use here, still apply today. 'Give me a straight answer ' .... etc. another use meaning honest which has been around forever.

    My children's first school reading books in the 80's were an educational series called The Gay Way which someone saw fit to change to The New Way. Now gay only seems to have one meaning. I had a childhood friend called Gay (shortened form of Gabrielle), not sure if she changed her name, probably not.

    Agree 100% it is still used in that context.
    Some people are eager to find offence in everything though.

    I agree. Have to say though that I found/find the word spaz quite offensive. To me it's making fun of people who have no control over how they present - jerky body movements etc. as if they are somehow a figure of fun.

    Indeed, as a child of the 80's/90's I used the term often and still do, I fully get it though, its just hard to change your language sometimes.

    I'd have thought most people would understand what the phrase "bent copper" means, for instance - even if they didn't use it themselves.
    As you say, some people seem to try very hard to be offended by things.

    Anyway, I wasn't really expecting my comment to spark yet another linguistic debate. <doh>
    Though I suppose it whiles away the time when there's no footie to talk about. :)

    If you're a child of the 80's/90's you should be over name calling by now :bandit:

    You will always meet people worthy of the title, even later in life.

    True. Personal experience always comes into these things and I'd be appalled if I heard my lads using the kind of language we've been talking about.

    Marvin Gaye stuck an 'e' on the end of his original name because of homosexual connotations. That was in the late 50s. :emoticon-0114-dull:

    You know how music forms a tapestry of your life, well he and Motown are part of mine. I have a wide and varied taste in music but Soul and R&B were my youth.

    Luis Diaz was excellent vs Brazil
    Colombia were definitely the underdogs going into the game last night, but the way they played deserves an enormous amount of credit.
    Luis Diaz, in particular, was amazing.
    The Liverpool winger has been through a lot over the last few weeks. He has suffered, but to have his dad back in the stadium watching him score twice against Brazil is just fantastic.
    Diaz was the best player on the pitch last night, and it was great to see Alisson show him some love in the end despite ending up on the losing side.

    Everton given immediate 10 point deduction for failing ffp.

    They’re appealing it.. they should be thankful it’s only 10 points and they delayed it until this season and didn’t give it to them last year which would have relegated them.
