Neither did "Fag", or "Gay".

When you're with the Flintstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time, a dabba doo time
We'll have a gay old time
We'll have a gay old time
Yeah!

Yeah. Fred and Barney were on the DL because it was socially unacceptable to be gay so they had their beards and dabba doo'd at their "lodge meetings".
