Gottsched’s ‘five levels of politeness’ from 1762:

natürlich – ich bitte dich
althöflich – ich bitte euch
mittelhöflich – ich bitte ihn
neuhöflich – ich bitte Sie
überhöflich – ich bitte dieselben

to which I add

unhöflich – mach’ jetz’

[New High German] words like List and Gewalt have shifted from masculine/feminine to exclusively masculine, reflecting the semantic field of ‘knowledge/skill’ or ‘power’ which correlates with feminine. Kot shifts from masculine/neuter to simply masculine, in line with tendency for the semantic field ‘waste’ to show masculine gender.

Exception: Scheiße (feminine)
