Silenus commented on the word polyamory
Polyamory is having multiple, long term, sexual, loving relationships that all the people involved know about and consent to. The original definition was coined by Morning Glory Zell because terms being used at the time, like "consensual adultery" and "responsible non-monogamy" were considered by many to be inadequate.

Silenus commented on the word peg
The word peg is coming into use as a term for the act of a female using a strap on dildo to perform anal sex on a male. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the adoption of this term is that sex columnist Dan Savage noticed there was no common term for this act and asked his readers to vote on the term they preferred. They could choose from three terms, BOB, punt, and peg. (BOB was taken from a popular how to do it film, Bend Over Boyfriend.)

Is it possible that peg is the first word to gain a new meaning through a popular vote?
