Good time to plug Dara O'Brian: don't do that. One day you're gonna have kids and need these words in their normal context. Your kid is gonna come in with muddy shoes and you're all "oh my. You're a dirty girl." and then you'll ask yourself wtf you just said to your own kid.

Some words and expressions need to stay with their original meaning! These include:

  • dirty,
  • naughty and *tone of voice breaks*
  • do what daddy tells you!

If you're a naughty girl, daddy's gonna spank you!

i agree, but this is linguistic prescriptivism. words change meaning whether u like it or not.

It’s a joke an the futility of linguistic prescriptivism. I might not have represented it well but the whole punchline is that this ship has sailed long ago.
