There's a few term of that kind of age which were like that. Medical terms or just plain English words that became labelled "derogatory" because of how they were used. I always felt it showed how poor the vocabulary of some people was. If they only knew the derogatory meaning they'd get offended by it's use in all situations even if the meaning was innocent.
