If "toots" is the one word that keeps it from getting ruined by mainstream adoption, then so be it. The cycle always seems to be:

1) Look at this great thing a few geniuses developed

2) The intellectuals and forward looking people early adopt

3) It slowly turns from being cool trendy and useful, into a Walmart-like all things to all people behemoth of gross negligence.

4) Some heavy abuses are uncovered, and using it is no longer valuable to anyone.
