what words have gone in english over past thirty years?
105295
What do you mean, what words have gone, that is disappeared, *from* English, or what words have come *into* English usage in the past 30 years.  If the latter, the words are legion: pick just about anything from the technology sphere:  "laptop", "palmtop", "INTERNET".\n\nAs for words that have disappeared, that is harder, because like the song says about "old fashioned love songs", there's "no need in bringing them back 'cause they're never really gone."  The only word that comes to mind right now is a word usage.  I don't think anybody says "gay" as a synonym for "happy" anymore, since the word has acquired a different meaning.  Also, few people use the word "cripple" as a noun describing a person anymore; it's not PC; we use "disabled" instead.
