Hmm... I think the meaning of "vader" changed in Germany or some place like that some time after first Star Wars triligy came out. Or maybe it was "darth". I can't think of what it ment before but I think it means "black", "dark", "evil" or "father". Sorry I can't help you more.

Gay?
Flinstones, 'we'll have a gay old time...'. Not quite the same meaning today.
