"Old English scæft, sceaft ‘handle, pole,’ of Germanic origin; related to Dutch schaft, German Schaft, and perhaps also to scepter. Early senses of the verb (late Middle English) were ‘fit with a handle’ and ‘send out shafts of light.’"

This is a great comment. But the thread is about people using an old word and meaning at another thing entirely.

Like people would use slang words for things so they don't get caught doing nasty things, the criminal minded are an example.

Keeping the wiki away from criminal minded slang is the best thing to do for the development of a stronger smarter society, staying as far away from the criminal minded as possible.
