A fairly recent episode of South Park addresses the fluidity of language, and how words, especially slang, can take on vastly different meanings over the course of a few years. Of course, this episode, called 'The F-Word' generated much controversy. Click here for an article from the Arts section of the New York Times. By clicking the blog post title, you should be able to watch the episode.
