The fall of the gaylord?

[D]

Dear philosophers and native english speakers, I often thought about the
word gaylord. When did it fall into disuse? When was the last time you
used it? And do you think it might be time to dust it off and let it shine
again?

I'm very much looking forward to hear your opinions!

Only time it's ever been in my mind was when pondering
the American baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry.

Really? So it is also a name? This word gets even more mysterious!

I also managed to remember this politician named Gaylord:

Gaylord, the gift that keeps on giving!

I was inspired to do some research myself and found among others, a
criminal gang!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Gaylords

I wonder what they were up to during hte BLM riots?

In addition:

Gaylord is a masculine name of French origin. It stems from the word
gaillard, which means lively and spirited. This name calls to mind a
happy, boisterous baby with a true zest for life. Notable men such as MLB
player Gaylord Perry and former governor and environmentalist Gaylord
Nelson breathe new life into this traditional name. If you're looking for
a unique option with vibrant connotations, look no further than Gaylord.

And on top of that...


noun Used as a disparaging term for a gay man.
noun Used as a disparaging term for a foolish or inept man or boy.

It's the swiss army knife of words!

I predict that we'll see a revival in its use as a masculine name!

Get thee behind me, privileged misogynist! :-)

Now I'm curious, what are you hiding behind you?

That's too transcendental a question for me to answer
anymore.

Yes... you've got it! It is always the fault of the white,
old, male! ;) Didn't it say on page 666 in the bible that
satan was a white old male republican?

You forgot 'conservative' and 'supremacist'. But that was
some pretty solid general vicinity.

Ahhh... and a gaylord as well!

I've never seen a word so mistreated and/or forgotten!

True! In sweden it's the word negro which some leftist journalist confused
with nigger, and you can then deduce the rest from there. ;)

Oh noes! Don't tell me the world *lit-er-al-ly* ended
*again*....

New lefty movie: "Apocalypse Always", in which the
anti-hero Magaman destroys Democracy in order to establish
a Theocracy that recognizes <GASP!> only two genders, and
<DOUBLE GASP!> sells Supremacist bibles, and sneakers that
aren't inclusive of all ten toes!

You've got it! ;) Note that saying the word negro in sweden can get you a
fine if someone on the left hears it.

I'm willing to bet they often hear it even when no one's
said it.

Interesting thought... not completely improbable. Being racist is
frequently used as a weapon in politics, so now that I think about it, I
find it quite credible.
