I don’t see a point of constantly shifting the words.
There is no point, that is just what humans do with language. It is never static. Always evolving.
Every generation crates new slang to differentiate themselves from their parents. Give it enough time and Latin turns into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian because each local population changed Latin in different directions.
It is even happening to English. There are now several sub-languages of English according to linguists.
Yeah, this stuff isn’t really slang though. They’re replacing the slang with ever more technical replacements in an effort to make something non-offensive, when the idea behind the words is inherently offensive. Then shame is used to drive adoption. Slang I get, this other stuff… it’s just annoying.

Taboo words are a strong driver in language drift.
