Sexuality
The Literary Lesbian Society
Here's an example of the changing meaning of words. As the text below explains (from Frank Gluth's history of Oak Harbor), in 1903, one could still use "lesbian" in a non-sexual way. But the latest reference I can find to the club is from 1964, an era when other meanings of the word became dominant.

Tax on intercourse
1971: Rhode Island legislator Bernard C. Gladstone proposed that every male "over the age of puberty" would be taxed $2 for every act of intercourse they engaged in. However, "only acts of sexual intercourse occurring in Rhode Island, either by residents or tourists, could be taxed."

Monsters Under the Bed
It's highly gratifying to see an ancient cliche--OLD MAID CHECKS UNDER HER BED FOR MEN EVERY NIGHT--actually bearing fruit. Although not literally an "old maid," this wife's habit of looking under her bed for intruders paid off.

Sexy TV Showering
Surprised this passed the censorship of the times, as it's just one step away from having the (presumed, but never explicitly stated) husband and wife sharing the same shower stall.
