Not sure what language has been changed that you're referring to to be be honest, and why does changing a few words to make people feel more included a bad thing? It just sounds as if your homophobia has got the better of you is all. Sure, you'll say it's a generational thing, but my Mum is in her 80's and has no issues with any of this, so it's nothing to do with that - not sure what else it is then...?

Sick
Mad
Radical
Dope
Bees knees
Fresh
All means good.

Cap is lying
Dog can be a bad person
A pussy can be anything from a cowardly act to an animal to a fun furry friend
Sketch is not trustworthy
Got a mate name bones fat as, another named big Tommy he's a rake
Ordinary can mean bad
A frozen Alaskan is something you don't want to know the meaning to

Why do we say yeah first
when we are definitely going to say no? ?

Who are these hooligans that are changing the meanings! It's madness I'll tell you!

Yep, my Mum lived to her early 90s and had no problems with fair dinkum homosexuality.
Wasn't too fussed on the 'In your face' transvestite types though.

For a country that is one of the most famous in the world for changing and bastardising the English language, we seem to have a lot of issues with keeping the integrity of the English language 😂
I'm so confused

"Which one of you Bastards called this Bastard a Bastard?"

Australians are, apparently, the only people in the world that call someone they just meet "Mate!"
And their best friends another word that most people would consider amongst the worst insults.
We are a weird mob.

It isn't the integrity of the language that concerns me its the endless changes in its use being forced upon us by minority groups that gets my goat.

In the grand scheme of things Australians are a minority in the English speaking world
