All I'm saying is show me one -- just ONE -- woman who ever dug a 200,000 gallon boner-lake. I'll wait.

Except it didn't change, it's still used as a slur to talk about people with actual intellectual disabilities. You can't avoid that.

The evolution of language isn't a personal choice, it's done on a societal level.

That's fair, I guess its just changed in my social circle, but I disagree with your second point.

Society is made up of people and the way we use words changes their meaning over time. There isn't a dictionary committee that decides what words mean, words change based on how individuals use them on a daily basis.
