I didn't necessarily mean that hard Gs are turning into soft Gs all the time. Just that things start off one way and get perverted, sometimes almost immediately. An example of that might be the phrase "no love lost between them." I am told, but have never verified, that the original context of the phrase told of a love so pure and directed that none was lost on the way from one lover to the other. It is now universally used to mean that the two people involved have no love at all for each other.
