As I understand it, the word "grape juice" didn't exist either; and God's choice word for it was "wine."
Over time, "wine" as grape juice fell out of use and became only the fermented kind.
Equivalent words would be "queer" and "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]."
ETA: Okay, skip that second example.
Once legitimate words, but then hijacked and now considered perjorative.
When I first joined here, "Arab phone" was a legitimate entry in Wikipedia, and I used it a lot.
But it was removed from Wikipedia, and when I use it now, newbies don't know what I'm talking about.
