"we believe yiff's history and context can not be adequately replaced by any word currently in use."
Are you suggesting that we should just force the term and meaning back to it's origin?

I do believe, meanings can change, but at the same time, I kind of think it can mean both. Though, trying to use the same word like these for "Sexual" and "Hello" could be really hard.
Trying to turn it back to only "Hello" (Or whatever it was in History) however, could piss a lot of people off who loves using the word for other alternative things apparently.

**Note: I say "Hello" because I thought it originally came from some fox saying "Hello". The plain meaning doesn't seem like a major term but I can see it spread into something major (In a simple, good way?).
