Mar 13, 2014 at 19:29 comment added Will Jagy I'm guessing that one problem is language change over time. We still have the phrase "scum of the earth" to denote a useless person, using the early meanings of "layer of algae, dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid," but there are less acceptable slang meanings.
