I'm curious as to when that particular term slipped into the mainstream
vernacular. It was always a bit "outside", when I'd heard it in the
past. Then a couple weeks ago, I ran into it dropped into "Baby Mama"...

But the meaning as "contaminated" goes back *much* farther.

err...I don't think so...since tainted is never a noun. You'd never say hey, hand me
a tainted. It's an adjective at times and a verb at times, but never a noun.

Wouldn't "a tainted burger" be using "tainted" as an adverb?

Are you asking about the slang term "taint" as applied to a
particular human body area? I'm not sure just what you're asking, since
in with the spoiled-food sense, you mention "nether regions".
