You see? He meant nothing by it. He'd probably be embarrassed if someone explained to him that terminology has changed.

Remember when "queer" just meant "strange". Now you can't say, "That's queer."

And "gay" meant happy.....

Once in a while someone in church -always a seasoned citizen, will refer to my wife as my "mate". THAT makes me uncomfortable for some reason. It almost sounds like gutter talk to me. Sex as a form of function, aka procreation, versus something you are actually allowed to enjoy.
(Granted, I have no problem with the Australian form of the word.)

There are two parts to that. Language has been hi jacked by MTV and meanings have greatly increased with sexual innuendo. We have another ordeal called Politically correct speech. Many ordinary expressions are now taboo.

I agree. Our language has been hijacked and I'm sure that MTV has something to do with it. But, I'm also sure Comedy Central, Disney and our late night talks shows - David Letterman - are also part and parcel. It's society collectively, IMO.
