In fact what is acceptable today may no longer be acceptable tomorrow, That is
the nature of the English and American languages. I don't know how much other
languages drift over time, but the English and American languages are fluid,
words change meaning, gain new meanings, and drop out of common use frequently.

Sup, to dine
'sup, contracted "whats up" contracted from "hey fellows what are you doing"
 adopted I belive from Que Pasa (paso) "whats is happening/ has happened"

New words and new definitions for words all become valid provided enough
people use them over a long enough period of time.

With the "P.C." social movement gaining support terms like Fatso or Skinny
are not just denigrations but outright vulgarisms. (BTW if you know what
a word means, is it a word? ie "fatso" isn't in my dictionary, so is it a
valid word?)

Anyway back to my point, Correct language use is malable and oft' insufferable ;)
