In that sense yes

But no

I love in the minority which loves most of Emma's BB wardrobe

Sorry

Depressing isn't it! Just remember that we used to have many a Grope C (Yep, *that* C word) Lane... and now we don't. There are some positives to language evolution

To remain on-topic: Norwegian Brunost caramel cheese is about the only thing in the world I would use the description 'Vile' for. It qualifies as it is quite repugnant, and to say 'unpleasant' would be doing it and readers a dis-service.
There are times certain words should be used, but only to emphasise the point, and sparingly.”
I've never heard of Norwegian Brunost caramel cheese! Having just googled it, and loving sweet and savoury, and Caramacs, it sounds like it might be a winner for me! Thanks for the nod!
Re your BIB, I'd agree in my ideal world. But my personal Utopia doesn't and never will exist

So being a lover of rules, I use the OED and acceptance of language evolution patterns to temper my anger at other people daring to use words in the correct official or evolved ways rather than *my* way... I do have some words that bother me muchly ('chav' springs to mind!), but 'vile' isn't one of them, even though its not much in my word bank either.
That said, I've just had a whole burrata, mopped up with a decent slab of home made focaccia and plenty garlic oil and toms - it could only have been improved with some glugs of An's Rioja!
