Another word that has lost it's gender specificity over the years, especially in sports, is "guys". It's become relatively generic. I hear coaches, including female coaches, call female players "guys" all the time. I virtually never hear "gals" any more in that context.

One term I hope never loses it's original meaning is "hot mom".
