What is it now referring to?  Not a mentally handicapped person anymore.  It's not used that way.  Like I said, "idiot" used to be a professional term, but nobody bats an eye at its use nowadays.  I personally don't going around saying "********" because while I'm sure I said it 1000 times as a kid, there was a stigma attached to using it because it meant something more.  

It's the meaning behind the words that give them power. It's why black people can say a certain word and I can't.
