Now that straight man means not-gay man, is there a new term for straight man in the comedic sense?

since when have English speakers gotten rid of phrase just because it has multiple meaning? It’s pretty much append only.

Does happen. Nobody really uses 'gay' to mean 'lighthearted and cheerful' anymore for instance.
