"Bath salts" (like "gay") is another phrase that really does not mean what it used to mean ...

Language barrier, and I suppose a generation gap: it wasn't until you reminded me that I realized, for most people younger than I am "bath salts" doesn't mean "a bath additive compounded mostly of Epsom salts with color and perfume added".
