A cross between Accidental Innuendo and Unusual Euphemism, as a result of Language Drift — natural changes in the common vocabulary — causes a word or phrase originally intended as wholly innocuous to be potentially taken as startling, confusing, or just plain funny in a different time or place. Usually relates to sexual euphemisms, but can also involve other sensitive concepts. Even very slight changes in usage can produce this effect; until recently, for example, a man might speak of his attraction to a "young girl", and everyone would understand he meant a woman in her 20s. Nowadays, she'd be young, or a girl, but not both. Sometimes the expression still has an innocent meaning that is at least as valid as the naughty one,note For instance, "young girl" generally won't raise eyebrows if the speaker is older and isn't sexualizing her, but now there are just too many people with their minds in the gutter. Compare with Hilarious in Hindsight, of which this is arguably a Sub-Trope. See also Double Entendre or Intentionally Awkward Title for when this trope is invoked entirely intentionally, Separated by a Common Language for the spatial analogue, and Get Thee to a Nunnery for the reverse process. Keep in mind that some of these words actually did have their modern meaning at the time they were used, but only within certain sections of the populace. The meaning of the word 'gay', for instance, began to change as early as 1870 among the criminal classes of New York, where it originally meant "prostitute" (yes, before The Gay '90s); around 1900 the meaning changed to "homosexual prostitute" and within five years of that to simply "homosexual". This means that, for longer than you might think, writers have been employing that word deliberately in order to get crap past the radar. Some of these examples result from the euphemism treadmill, whereby terms are repeatedly replaced as the previous word falls into such a state of misuse that it cannot be recovered. The words "idiot", "moron", and "imbecile" started as clinical terms, referring to people with IQs below 75, 50, and 25, respectively. As these terms fell into common use as insults, they were replaced by a kinder and gentler term: "mentally retarded". After decades of that being used as an insult, "retarded" is now considered so offensive that some people want it classified as hate speech. The term used to describe people with life-changing diseases or injuries followed a similar path, from "crippled" to "handicapped" to "disabled" to "physically challenged"; when terms like "handi-capable" and "differently abled" were proposed, it came across as too clunky and people generally agreed to stop messing with it. As of the mid-2010s, the treadmill turned again, and "disabled" is again the preferred term. Racist terminology is also a prime example of this. The infamous 'nigger' (which is so virulent it cannot be even used clinically in many places anymore) used to be common language, even without racist overtones. For example, "nigger babies" used to be a name for a popular candy, while Agatha Christie even used the title Ten Little Niggers for her arguably most famous work; even back then nigger was considered risky so it was retitled Ten Little Indians for US publication, which annoyed another group of people, so they eventually settled on And Then There Were None. Use of 'nigger' by productions in which it is specifically used as a criticism/condemnation of racism (e.g. All in the Family, Blazing Saddles, and the Racist Word Association Interview sketch in Saturday Night Live's first season) is often misunderstood by modern audiences. Nowadays, even shows specifically about historic racism will avoid the word due to its baggage and triggering nature. Words changed meaning less frequently before the advent of radio and television, and when they did change, the transformation could be slow (as seen with 'gay' above). It took over a hundred years for the primary meaning of the verb 'want' to change from "lack" to "desire". Television sped things up: it took only a few weeks in the '70s for the meaning of "boob" to change from "dummy" to "breast" among the general public. And nowadays with Internet trends, words can change meaning almost overnight. Compare Values Dissonance, Harsher in Hindsight, and You Keep Using That Word (a common cause of this if it happens enough); see also Unfortunate Names, which sometimes result from this. Get Thee to a Nunnery is the inverse for historical slang whose meaning has been forgotten today, causing modern audiences to take the word at face value. Non-Nazi Swastika refers to when the trope is applied to Western culture (it was seen as a good luck symbol prior to World War II). When an instance affected one of two related languages in the past, or affected both but with different new meanings, the result is a pair of false cognates. Named after the last line in "Meet The Flintstones." |

Wonder Woman (1942): Wonder Woman #1 describes Mercury as "gay", meaning joyous. It was published in 1942. In one Golden Age story, Diana calls her boss to ask for the day off because "last night's party was — er — strenuous!" He responds: "Certainly, my dear! You must have had a gay time!" It's even funnier now that Wonder Woman is officially bi. |

The 2023 revival of Clone High has some fun with this combined with Deliberate Values Dissonance and Get Thee to a Nunnery, with Abe having not caught up with the connotations of words such as "gay", "retarded", and phrases like "all lives matter" having had significant shifts in connotations since the early 2000s. | |

There's a line in Catman's Who's Who entry about "the cat fetish he acquired in Africa". In proper context, it's easy to tell that the subject is a totem carving of a cat that he picked up while he was in Africa. Outside of that context or to the casual reader is another story. (The original meaning comes from Portuguese, meaning that in Portugal, Brazil or Angola the reference wouldn't be quite so naughty.) | |

LEGO Island: The lyrics to the song "Brick by Brick" contain the made-up word "trannieverse", which is a portmanteau of "trannie" and "universe". In context, the word is being used in the sense of a vehicle's transmission (the verse is about building vehicles), not as an anti-transgender slur. | |

The English translation of Terranigma consistently uses the word 'arouse' instead of the various forms of 'awake/awaken'. While this usage is technically correct, 'arouse' is these days most often used to refer to sexual arousal, which leads to some double entendres, such as Dr. Beruga's "I thank you for arousing me." | |

Several old Tom and Jerry shorts have "Puss" or "Pussy" in the title. In one, Spike the bulldog threatened Tom with "I'll poke you in the puss!" Puss has always meant face though, even if it's uncommon nowadays. PussY on the other hand... Try to watch Tuffy repeat the word calling for Tom with a straight face. A later Gene Deitch short is titled "Dicky Moe". Given what the inspiration for its plot is, it's not surprising. |

The Simpsons: Early on, the show occasionally used the older definition of "boner" meaning a mistake or blunder, most memorably in "The Telltale Head." In "Dancin' Homer," Burns mishears Smithers' whispered reminder of who Homer is and greets the family as "the Simps." Played for laughs with Mr. Burns (who, according to the show's ever-shifting canon, came of age sometime between the turn of the twentieth century and The Roaring '20s) is apparently completely unaware of the latter-day definition of the word "gay". In "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", when he's interviewed on a shock-jock radio show, he recalls his father taking him to a picnic when he was a child, saying "That certainly was a gay experience. I ate my share of wieners that day!" In "The Springfield Files", Mr. Burns asks Smithers what he's doing this weekend, "Something gay, no doubt." Smithers is momentarily taken aback, but Burns continues, "You know, light-hearted, fancy free, mothers, lock up your daughters, Smithers is on the town!" Smithers is visibly relieved. In "Little Big Girl", Smithers is set on fire, and runs by Mr. Burns, who is watering the lawn. Screaming, "Help me, Mr. Burns! I'm flaming!". Cue an Aside Glance that shatters the Fourth Wall. In "Homer vs. Dignity", Mr Burns tells Homer "You're much more fun than Smithers. He doesn't even know the meaning of the word gay!" Cue Gilligan Cut that demonstrates that, yeah, he kinda does. In "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" Bart derisively refers to the new mate of Santa's Little Helper as a bitch. Marge is furious with him but Bart correctly says that's the term for a female dog and that he looked it up, causing Marge to grumble that she's going to call the dictionary people and complain that they must have made a mistake. The season 22 episode "Flaming Moe" turns this up to eleven; one of Smithers' "friends" comments upon meeting Burns that he didn't know Smithers was into "lemon parties"note VERY not safe for work, look it up yourself— or, better yet, don't, and Burns obliviously insists that he gets "first squeeze". In "The Haw-Hawed Couple", Martin Prince "Individually, we are weak like a single twig; but as a bundle, we form a mighty faggot!" Subtitles: "Faggot: A bundle of sticks for fuel. [Fr. fagot, a bundle of sticks]" In "Dial 'N' For Nerder", Martin refers to a humanoid skeleton as "one of the major Homos." Bart was about to let Martin have it for that one, but Lisa stopped him. In "A Tale Of Two Springfields", Kent Brockman thanks New Springfield for making them rich: "From now on, we'll be taking golden showers!" Which is followed by off-screen laughter from the crew as Brockman asks "What!?" Unlike when it was aired, "The Telltale Head" may make your kids giggle with Homer's line: "You know, Bart, when I was your age, I pulled a few boners." In "Lisa's Date With Density", Dewey Largo, the music teacher, asks one of the students: In "How the Test Was Won", Principal Seymour Skinner is haplessly unaware that he's making an unintentional Double Entendre in talking about pencils when the students in the auditorium are being briefed on the test: The Simpson innuendo for the ages, with a bit of Hypocritical Humor on Ned Flanders's part in "Bart The Lover": "Homer, all of us pull a few boners now and then, go off half-cocked, make asses of ourselves. So I'm not trying to be hard on you, but I just wish you wouldn't curse in front of my boys." In "Lisa's First Word", a flashback to 1984 references AYDS (See the Advertising folder): In "Homie the Clown", Homer, as a Krusty impersonator, attempts to make a balloon animal for Ralph Wiggum at a birthday party. He tells Ralph "Here's your giraffe, little girl!", to which Ralph responds with "I'm a boy!" The joke is that Homer is using "girl" in it's old meaning as a term for a little kid regardless of gender. In "Large Marge", Homer tries to emulate Bart's habit of spraypainting "El Barto" by spraypainting "El Homo" on a wall, and it doesn't occur to him what that suggests till a gay man walks over and says "If only I had your courage, señor". |

The Magic School Bus: In "Ups and Downs", which is about buoyancy, Keesha talks about turning their "floaters into sinkers". In "Revving Up," as the class floats around in the bus' carburetor, Wanda says "Now I know what a tossed salad feels like!" The name of the show itself can also be this. Especially since there are theories that Mrs Frizzle does actually drug the kids! |

Looney Tunes: Some classic shorts have titles that make you look twice nowadays: "Puss 'N' Booty" (1943) "Angel Puss" (1944) "Booby Hatched" (1944) "The Gay Anties" (1947) "Bone, Sweet Bone" (1948) "Boobs in the Woods" (1950) "Easter Yeggs" (1947) had Bugs encountering a weeping Easter Bunny who explains to him that his job delivering Easter eggs has made his feet sore and thus is unable to continue the job unless another rabbit does it for him (unbeknown to him, the Easter Bunny tricks other rabbits by guilt tripping them to doing the job for him while he doesn't have to do anything). During his sob story, he briefly mentions himself being "happy and gay" before hurting his feet. This can be taken both ways. An example in reverse: in cartoons where Bugs Bunny usually says "What a maroon!" in reference to hapless antagonists such as Elmer Fudd, "maroon" was intended and taken as Bugs's Brooklyn-ese mispronunciation of "moron" (along with "embezzle" for "imbecile"). It was later discovered that there was an obscure historical definition of "maroon": African-American settlers who escaped from slavery and probably settled with the indigenous natives, which nowadays might cause viewers to wonder if Bugs was aware that he wasn't just insulting Elmer's intelligence when he called him a "maroon"... From Duck Amuck: Here's an IMDb review by a user named "oscaralbert" of the short "I Wanna Play House", talking about the featured song "I Gotta Sing Because I'm Gay", hilariously unaware of what the word meant back in that time period. Remember the 'making love' explanation earlier? Does that explain how Pepé Le Pew got away with saying he'd love to do this all night and all day with an obviously non-consenting non-skunk he happened to grab without everyone and their senator screaming to bleach out the soundtrack? |

A Yogi Bear cartoon from the 1960s featured a troop of boy scouts camping at Jellystone Park, and Yogi scheming to get them to "share" their food with him. Ranger Smith sternly reprimands Yogi for this, saying, "Those boy scouts would never molest a bear, and I'm going to make sure that no bear molests them." "Molest" had a meaning closer to "harass" or "upset" back then, but nowadays that line just comes out wrong, and the whole boy scout thing makes it even wronger. Similarly, the 1942 Porky Pig/Daffy Duck short My Favorite Duck has a scene where Daffy points out a sign reading: "Season closed - No duck shooting - Don't even molest a duck". The Polish translator went with the word "molestowac", which means exclusively "to sexually harass" in modern Polish. Apparently, the translator missed something there. Also, the translator omitted the word "even", which quite clearly points to the fact that "molests" means something mild in this context. Also, from Yogi's Gang (a sort of team-up of all the Hanna-Barbera talking animals up to that point) theme song, "If those big goons were out of the way / the world would be so bright and gay". Yogi's In-Series Nickname for Boo-Boo is "Boob". This gets pretty funny in the Yogi's Treasure Hunt episode "Merlin's Lost Book of Magic", where Boo-Boo is knighted as "Sir Boo-Boo of Boobs". |

Fallout: Equestria, in a fandom rife with Rule 34, insists on calling all of its zebra-related magical artifacts 'fetishes' every time. An 'invisibility fetish' even plays a heavy role in the book's backstory by being repurposed by Rarity into the Stealth-Buck. Somehow, despite a heavy dosing of raunchy material in the fic, no character ever comments on this or makes the obvious joke. | |

Supergirl: At the end of the 1964 storyline The Untold Story of Argo City, Allura remarks that her daughter Supergirl "misses the gay times she had as Linda Danvers". The title of Supergirl's Three Super Girl-Friends was chosen in the early 1960s, when "girlfriend" was still widely used to describe "female acquaintance" rather than almost exclusively "female lover", making the instances of Supergirl wishing for a girlfriend and deciding she is allowed to have three girlfriends sound...awkward. |

"Weird" has changed its meaning a bit through overuse of the word in advertising media. Originally, it meant something more along the lines of "scary" and "supernatural", and has since been watered down to "sort of generically eccentric". That's why you occasionally see old comics and pulps with names like Weird Tales or Weird Mystery. As in "the weird and haunted shores of World's End" (Pirates of the Caribbean). Ironically, it's now taken the spot in the language originally occupied by 'queer'. | |

Fear & Hunger: Termina: If you play as Daan, the intro may result in Karin calling you a "Queer eyepatched foreigner". "Queer" is clearly being used in the original meaning of "Weird" (since the setting is an Alternate Universe of the real 1942), but it does get a few players confused due to the term's modern associations with LGBT. | |

The park ranger quickly reads out a Long List of rules to the guests, and then puts special emphasis on one final rule which is on a big sign next to him; Don't molest the bears. It then cuts to Donald with a slightly annoyed look on his face, as if he had been planning to molest some bears. | |

Sensation Comics: In 1942, Gardner Fox and Howard Purcell created a swashbuckling hero who battled evil from beyond the grave. His name: the Gay Ghost. He reappeared in Grant Morrison's Animal Man as a resident of Comic-Book Limbo, where he said he didn't want to be brought back because of the redefining of the word "gay". He was later brought back anyway, but as The GRIM Ghost. In his inaugural story, the word "queer" comes up several times, and his ability to possess the bodies of the living is described as "the power to enter men's bodies".

Mario Party 8 infamously had to be recalled in the United Kingdom on the first week of its release there, due to a case of this and Separated by a Common Language. During the Perplex Express level, Kamek utters the line "Magikoopa magic! Turn the train spastic! Make this ticket tragic!" The issue starts with the word 'spastic'; in the United Kingdom, this word is often used as a harsh slur for mentally disabled people in the same vein as the word 'Retarded', but in the United States it's typically used to mean 'jittery and uncoordinated' with no further negative connotations. Following the recall, the word was changed to 'erratic' for the UK release, a much more acceptable word that still matches the meaning the US iteration was going for. | |

Spider-Man: The Animated Series: In one episode, a young boy interrupts a crime by shouting "Your gangbanging days are over!" at the perpetrators. In modern parlance "gangbanger" pretty much always means "someone in a street gang", while "gang bang" pretty much always means "group sex". Some derivatives (such as "gangbanging") could go either way, though it's usually pretty clear from context which is meant. Discussed in-universe when Peter is bemused at the idea of a WWII-era hero in a yellow costume called The Whizzer — because of his speed. As Omar Mosely explains, it was a different time. |

Jem features a song called "Who Is He Kissing?" about Jerrica's Two-Person Love Triangle troubles. It features the lyrics "Who is he kissing/Is it me/Or is he making love to a fantasy?" By the mid 1980s "making love" had its modern meaning however, it's likely the only reason it was allowed was due to the fact the lyrics say "Who is he kissing?" and the video shows them kissing several times. In-series there are no implications Jem and Rio have done anything besides kiss either. | |

Woody Woodpecker: A 1960 short is titled Billion Dollar Boner ("boner" being outdated slang for a screwup or a mistake). And for crying out loud, the name Woody. Lampshaded in a T-shirt making the rounds at shops. It's a picture of a circa-1947 Woody in a bathrobe and slippers looking groggy, as if he had just woken up. The caption reads "Morning Woody." Also, the Brazilian adapted name of Woody, "Pica-Pau",note that is actually the regional name for the woodpecker in the Portuguese language became weird later. The two parts of his name ("Pica" and "Pau") became common euphemism for penis in later years. Another Walter Lantz cartoon features Andy Panda doing battle with a garden weed. Title: The Wacky Weed. In the same vein as Woody himself is Chilly Willy, although that's more for the British. |

There were rules for "orgies" in Dungeons & Dragons at one point. As stated above, it used to mean any large indulgence. Note that this is separate from the infamous harlot encounter table in the 1e Dungeon Masters Guide. | |

Similarly, the 1942 Porky Pig/Daffy Duck short My Favorite Duck has a scene where Daffy points out a sign reading: "Season closed - No duck shooting - Don't even molest a duck". The Polish translator went with the word "molestowac", which means exclusively "to sexually harass" in modern Polish. Apparently, the translator missed something there. Also, the translator omitted the word "even", which quite clearly points to the fact that "molests" means something mild in this context. |

Neopets: The Petpet now known as a Chatter used to be known as a Diddler from when it was introduced in October 2000, and stayed that way until, in March 2023, it was pointed out to the staff that the word "Diddler" gained a new, sinister meaning in the late 2010s. Once they were made aware of that, they were VERY quick to change it. | |

"Easter Yeggs" (1947) had Bugs encountering a weeping Easter Bunny who explains to him that his job delivering Easter eggs has made his feet sore and thus is unable to continue the job unless another rabbit does it for him (unbeknown to him, the Easter Bunny tricks other rabbits by guilt tripping them to doing the job for him while he doesn't have to do anything). During his sob story, he briefly mentions himself being "happy and gay" before hurting his feet. This can be taken both ways. | |

Phineas and Ferb has a musical number called "Squirrels in my Pants" or... "S.I.M.P.". When the episode was released in the late 2000s, "simp" was understood to mean stupid or dumb (as short for "simpleton"), though in the late 2010s the slang term "simp", meaning "someone who tries way too hard to win another person's attention or affection" became much more well-known, giving the song's title new meaning to many people. | |

A lot of old-fashioned Bible translations call God "terrible" (in the sense of being fearsome), as highlighted in Deuteronomy 7:21 KJV which calls God " a mighty God and terrible". Some of the instances of this which stick out the most are in the Book of Psalms, which praise God by declaring "the LORD most high is terrible" (Psalm 47:2 KJV) and "How terrible art thou in thy works!" (Psalm 66:3 KJV). Similarly for the word "awful" and, for opposite reasons, "awesome." | |

Rainbow Brite's companion is named "Twink". In the show's context, it's presumed to be short for "Twinkle", but in recent years "twink" has been used as slang for a gay man. Two out of the four modern-day attempts at Continuity Reboots renamed him to avoid this trope, the 2009 reboot renamed him "Twinkle" and the 2014 miniseries reboot renamed him "Mister Glitters". However, more recent Rainbow Brite merchandise has renamed him back to "Twink". | |

Superman: In Superman (1939) issue #3, Lois has been moved to the gossip column, and she is obviously not happy about it, so Clark asks her "Let [him] take [her] to some gay place tonight..." In Superman (1939) #7 (December 1940), Superman visits Gay City. In Action Comics #756, a retired super-villain announces that he was once known as the Molester. The reactions of his friends force him to point out that back in the day, "molest" meant "to bother" (and he couldn't pick "Joker" or "Prankster" because they were already taken). |

The card game Illuminati uses Straight to mean normal, everyday, ordinary, i.e. the opposite of Weirdnote itself, meaning strange or bizarre, not necessarily supernatural or magical.. In the contemporary era, we speak of mainstream and fringe subcultures. In the CCG version, Illuminati: New World Order, this is kept, but the rulebook and a couple of cards crack a few jokes at it. In the digital adaptation Illuminati Confirmed, they briefly considered changing it to "Straight-Laced" to avert this, but it proved too clunky. | |

In the 1951 Goofy short "No Smoking", Goofy, suffering from tobacco withdrawal, begs another man for a cigarette. He does so by listing off various slangs for tobacco, like snuff, rube...and weed. While the phrase's meaning of marijuana had been around since The Roaring '20s, it was also a common slang for tobacco well into The '50s. It wasn't until The '60s that it became fully supplanted to mean "cannabis". In the same cartoon, Goofy uses the term "fag," which at the time was simply a slang term for cigarette. |

Spiritfarer: When Stella tells Francis about Daria's peculiar demand, he remarks on how "queer" it is. Since he's an old monkey-onion hybrid spirit, he meant it as "strange", not as the umbrella term for LGBTQ+ people. | |

An infamous cover for Betty and Me featured a questionable choice in terminology about how to fend off other suitors. The meaning the average troper would be most familiar with for these terms came about around the same time this comic was made, though, so it probably still counts due to that writer-reader age gap. | |

Unskippable had some good laughs about Two Worlds' description of its medieval fantasy world being "infested with the Taint". This was a game from 2007, mind you, and calling something "tainted" in that sense is still a common term, but "taint" specifically as a noun is rapidly falling out of practice. | |

One Piece referred to a geyser-like water stream that sends ships up to Skypiea as the "Knock-up Stream" (in those exact words, even in the Japanese version). One Piece: Grand Adventure, which had its dub made by 4Kids, referred to it as the "water spout", but Pirates Carnival called it the Knock-Up Stream. | |

Tintin: The English translation of The Red Sea Sharks: Tintin, Haddock and a shot-down (male) Estonian pilot are adrift on a raft in the middle of the Red Sea. They eventually are sighted by some passengers in a cruise ship, after which a woman immediately shouts to the ship's millionaire owner, "Look! Shipwrecks! How madly gay!" The series in general also used "queer" to mean "strange" quite often. Also, the references to "coke". At the time it was widely used to refer to as a derivative of coal, but nowadays "coke" usually refers to either Coca-Cola or cocaine. The latter interpretation makes Haddock's shocked reaction to Tintin's question if their ship is carrying any coke look particularly hilarious. In The Broken Ear, a South American artifact is repeatedly called a "fetish", with the word's older meaning of "idol" rather than the modern meaning of a sexual fixation. |

The story of Balaam from The Bible (Numbers 22) is chock full of unintentionally amusing lines regarding Balaam's ass. Mention is made of how Balaam "smote the ass with his staff" (22:27). In 22:30, it asks him "Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day?" Because of this the story has on occasion been jokingly summarized as "God visited Balaam and talked out of his ass." The ass is a donkey. |

Spider-Man: The "boner" example listed under Batman also shows up in a contemporary Spider-Man comic — after Spider-Man embarrasses himself by breaking up an apparently villainous act by the Human Torch that turns out to be You Just Ruined the Shot, a bystander comments "I guess anyone can pull a boner". Mary Jane, first debuting in the sixties, shares the name of a euphemism for marijuana. Stan Lee later clarified that this was unintentional. In early issues, she also sometimes refers to being "turned on" by things that please her. One member of Spidey's Rogues Gallery is named Shocker (because he uses a weapon that creates shockwaves), a name that has since come to be associated with a hand gesture with a rather crude meaning. |

The Incredible Hulk: Similarly to the above, Jim Wilson in 1972's The Incredible Hulk #157, thinking about Maj. Glenn Talbot: "The Major isn't a bad guy... just so awfully straight, it makes your backbone ache!". One of the Hulk's recurring enemies is the two-headed android known as the Bi-Beast. Sure, "bi" as an adjective is used to refer to things that come in twos, much like his heads, but when it's used to describe a noun, it sure sounds like it has more to do with this beast's sexual orientation. |

In The Adventures of Superman, during a story arc in which Superman teamed up with Batman and Robin, Jimmy is responding to Lois' invitation to cover the opening of a new amusement park - he's meeting Dick Grayson at the Y for a swim, after which they're having dinner. But, he tells her, she can join them as their guest. To which Lois says, "You get Dick and meet me downstairs in fifteen minutes..." Just to make sure that the more obscure of the two Double Entendres doesn't go over your head, "dining at the Y" is a modern euphemism for cunnilingus, "the Y" being... This is aside from the fact that, post - Village People, two young men spending an evening together swimming and dining at the Y carries rather different connotations. |

Fairy Tail having the main characters be part of a guild the same name is finenote The reason behind the name, an intentional pun by Hiro Mashima, is the question, "Do fairies have tails, or don't they?

SpongeBob SquarePants': Given that Mr. Krabs' entire manner of speech is intentionally archaic, this trope is pretty in-line with his character. The episode "The Lost Mattress" has Krabs use "queer" in its "strange, unusual" meaning. The episode "The Krusty Sponge" has Krabs refer to a little boy as a girl. "Girl" once used to mean a little kid, regardless of gender. In "F.U.N.", Krabs watches SpongeBob and Plankton having fun, suggesting that he's stopped being evil. |

Warhammer 40,000: For a while, the Grey Knights had a power called Holocaust, which would destroy daemons within its area of effect. Possibly knowing the unfortunate implications of the word's association and the actual in-game effect (basically obliterating the hell out of one specific type of troops) this power was dropped in the newest edition. While it was still around the game introduced a "Deny the Witch" mechanic to counter spells, meaning the Knight player's opponent had to attempt to Deny the Holocaust. The 3.5 Edition of the Chaos Space Marine codex did not shy away from using terminologies such as "orgy" and "fetish" in their non-sexual meanings (although it did not shy away from using the sexual connotations either, considering there was a god of sex and lust in the book too). Nowadays such terms are almost exclusively in sections referring to Slaanesh (the aforementioned god of sex and lust). |

Asterix: In the English translation of Asterix in Spain, Asterix and Obelix rescue a small Hispanic boy from his Roman captors. They are quickly dealt with and Obelix exclaims in disgust, "Molesting a child! I've a good mind to straighten them out some more!" Let's think (and hope) that he meant the old meaning... The Romans from the Asterix books frequently have "orgies", in the old sense of "rowdy indulgent party". In the French version of Asterix and the Goths, Getafix asks for "un druide débile". "Débile" used to mean weak and feeble, but nowadays is used almost exclusively to mean "dumbass" or even "retard". |

Hungarian Folk Tales: Though produced in 2008, "Pepper Pot Peter" kept the original story's terminology. Köcsög traditionally means jug or pot and is used in the story to denote the hero's diminutive size. But the word is more commonly used as a rude synonym of "jerk". The narrator doubling down on calling him a "little köcsög" in a cheeky tone brings this close to an intentional example. The English dub of course stays clear of all this. | |

Many early Broons and Oor Wullie comics had characters using the word "Gey" (pronounced like "guy", but when written down...), a now-obsolete eastern Scottish word for "Very". It wasn't unusual for characters to remark: "That's gey queer" when something odd was up! Another strip in particular had Horace refer to Gran'paw as a "Deif auld faggot", "faggot" at the time in Scotland meaning something tired and/or useless. | |

Jellystone!: In "Cats Don't Dance", The King calls Top Cat and his gang 'simps'. Due to Production Lead Time, the episode was produced before 'simp' as a slang term meaning 'a man who foolishly overvalues and defers to a woman' became more common knowledge, but aired afterwards, so it may have been intentional. The King and his crew are patterned after '50s greasers, and the archaic meaning of 'simp' is 'simpleton'. | |

When Lou Thesz became NWA World Heavyweight Champion in the late 1940s, his status as a "hooker" was just as much a reason for him being given that position as his overall talent, especially considering that he subsequently wrestled in matches to unify the NWA title with other regional "world championships". The assumption was that Thesz would be able to legitimately win a match against an opponent who (for whatever reason) attempted to go against the planned finish. | |

The classic board game Cape Horn is absolutely full of this. As Mike Mozart pointed out, it's a game where you play as a crew of seamen collecting windcocks to sail around Cape Horn note try saying it out loud and get to San Francisco. Prepare for a lot of Heh Heh, You Said "X" if you try to play it with someone particularly immature. | |

South Park lampshades this in their version of Great Expectations. Also lampshaded: "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls", which Eric Cartman likes to eat. "Rainforest Schmainforest" put all three definitions of "gay" to use in various ways. The Getting Gay With Kids choir is all about children spreading cheer and not at all about going pederastic, though one jungle geurilla does rather indignantly declare that "I'm not getting gay with any kids!" Then too, the Getting Gay With Kids choir's original theme is indeed as "totally gay" as it claims to be. (Their revised theme at the end, however, wasn't so gay in any sense of the word.) |

In James 2:2-4 [KJV]: "For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment, and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou there in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?" The original Greek word ''lampros'', translated as "gay" in the context of the 17th century English vocabulary of the time, can mean "splendid, magnificent, brilliant", or "shining, clear, transparent". | |

In the Mickey Mouse short The Mad Doctor, the titular Mad Scientist is named Dr. XXX. The cartoon predates the first use of the X classification rating for pornographic films by about 35 years; back in the '30s, "XXX" was instead used as shorthand for alcohol, most often moonshine. As a result, Dr. XXX's name tends to get changed to The Mad Doctor in modern appearances like Epic Mickey. | |

Looking up 'spunk' at the Urban Dictionary will net you references to Australian slang for a really hot guy (supposedly a contraction of "sexy punk"), and American slang for marijuana. It's even more fun to look it up on dictionary.com—not only does the word "punk" appear again (in an even more obscure meaning involving wood—no, not that kind of wood, the kind you light fireworks with!)—but it brings up ads for sperm banks. Kinda puts a whole new spin on this classic exchange between nervous new employee Mary and her irascible boss, from The Mary Tyler Moore Show (circa 1970): | |

The 1936 Felix the Cat cartoon "Bold King Cole" had Felix singing this lyric. The Joe Oriolo Felix right away tells how Felix is "happy, gay, carefree." Another has Rock Bottom noting the "queer" birds Felix is raising while another has Felix telling how "something queer is going on" at a strange house to a policeman. The very first Felix short, "Feline Follies", takes place in the town of "Pussyville". Yeah, that name doesn't sound as innocent as it did in 1919. |

The Golden Gaytime is an ice cream that was first released in Australia in the late fifties. It's still proudly sold in Australia with the connotations of its name (with "gay" being used in it's original meaning of "happy") being an integral part of its branding, though it remains a source of bemusement to tourists. The jingle, which is still played in ads today, states "It's so hard to have a Gaytime on your own!" The front of the box features the words "4 chances to have a gay time!" It is, however, renamed to "Cookie Crumble" in New Zealand. | |

In the Team Umizoomi episode "Umi Knights", the bard sings that "the Umi Knights are gay for saving the day".

Dexter's Laboratory: One of the characters in the Justice Friends segment is Krunk, a parody of The Incredible Hulk. It's a homophone of "crunk", a term developed about a half decade after the show began meaning being drunk and high on cannabis at the same time. In "Dexter is Dirty", Dexter collides with a giant container full of green stuff labeled "waste spooge". "Spooge" generally referred to any liquid waste, but since then has almost only been used as obscene slang for ejaculation. The episode "Aye Aye Eyes" has a creepy-eyed girl coax Dexter into becoming her boyfriend, much to Dexter's chagrin. The (not) Falling-in-Love Montage song features the lyrics "Your eyes are the kind that make me feel gay". Considering it's a psychedelic 60s-styles song, it sounds appropriate. |

Discussed in the Downton Abbey/The Avengers (2012) crossover Tony Stark Meets an Extremely Unimpressed Time Traveler, or, Thomas Barrow Makes a Surprisingly Good 21st Century Butler when Thomas makes a careful pass at a guest by asking if he's "having a gay time", not realizing that homosexuality is widely accepted in the 21st century. Kingsley is actually a doctor of history with a personal interest in LGBTQ+ issues, and understands what he means immediately, but Tony has no idea Thomas is gay and is worried Kingsley might upset him by flirting with him. Later when everything comes out, Kingsley has to explain the innuendo to Tony. | |

Grand Kingdom uses the original definition of "fetish", an object with supernatural power, for the Shaman class's weapon of choice. | |
