My answer to When did South Park characters stop calling things “gay” in the vernacular derogatory sense “not very good”? on Quora

There was actually an episode that touched on a similar issue back in 2009: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...—“the boys attempt to change the official definition of the word ”fag“ from an anti-homosexual slur to a term describing loud and obnoxious Harley bikers.”
