RE: Square peg in a round hole? Much like how Authoritarians call themselves liberal? Regressives call themselves Progressive? Racists call themselves Anti-Racists?

Take the word gay, for example; it's changed meaning at least twice - first it meant happy, then gay and now people are also using it to mean kind of lame.

What was the meaning of "happy", when "gay" meant "happy"?

I'm pretty sure happy meant happy; gay was just another word for it.
