Thanks baddog.

AFS... I agree. I think erasing a buzzword from the current lingo will prove extremely hard to do. Once a word takes hold in the current lexicon and in people's minds, you can't take it away from them.

But.. you *can* replace it with a new word. And you *can* reshape the definition of a word until it loses its original meaning to a newer one.

psili... Exactly. The media's cashing in on the sensationalism of the word because of what it's come to represent. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Someone along the way decided to call it pornography, and it stuck. If someone else decides to call it obscenity, rather than pornography, if it happens often enough, and from enough credible sources, it will eventually replace the current buzzword. If cp came to be known as co, the media simply would pick up on that new phrase and splash that across their headlines.
