Europe, Boring Until it's Not

Also, for those "geniuses" here. A near-miss was a term coined when bombing a target. It didn't hit the mark but was close enough to do damage. Hence the name near-miss.

Today, people who should know better use the term to misdescribe a near hit.

The first definition is the correct, anything after that is the modern age attempting to re-purpose a word.

So it is "incorrect" that the word "faggot" also means (slur for) gay male? It is only the faggot of word definition that is correct? That's what you mean?

It's a slur because we as humans have allowed our language to change/degrade as our culture has become more "stupid" and less eloquent.
