@JGoldman10,
You didn’t though, you demanded.
English is a rich and thriving language. It is a living language, words come and go and they change meaning.
It's how things have always been, there’s no need getting upset about it.
There are reasons for coded language, like rhyming slang, a thief’s cant or Polari. They add to our lexicon and are one of the reasons that English is the only language that needs a thesaurus, (not looked that up btw, I just remember being told that some time ago.)
