1. And "bully" didn't mean "bully" either

2. That's true.

Which makes the current situation even more interesting.

These days, most Americans don't even recognize the old British meaning of the word, "bully."

Language evolves just like plants and animals.


editing to add: "piss", of course, is in the bible...
