The question i always ask, if us " people of a certain vintage " ( as you so eloquently put it ) ignore it, these terms will just die out, as the youngsters do not use them, food for thought perhaps ? ? ?
Really? I'd say calling a black person a "monkey" is still seen as a racial slur by us youngsters
