What Other Words Have Lost Their Original Meanings?

Yep. Me!

Since I’m often on a work-supplied computer, I’m careful about what I actually type.

I forgot to mention, a “dip” can be a pickpocket, like the Artful Dodger.

Well, yes, I know that. But obviously it isn’t the sense being used in the cartoon.

I just thought of lousy. Originally it meant infested with lice. It lost that meaning centuries ago and now simply means “bad”.

I’m honestly surprised that one hasn’t been mentioned in this thread yet. Yes, I did do a search.

Though it retains the “infested by lice” meaning in the phrase “lousy with.”
