Savage.

That's redefining what we've been taught words meant to fit a social change. It's not simple. And that's not a saying.

There is nothing morally abhorrent about it to me, yet, so I guess I should just get over it.

The dictionary should not define your world view any more than the thesaurus does.

It is a saying when trying to educate someone on this subject. Whether they choose to accept it or not is completely up to them. You choose not to accept it.

Yes because words shouldn't have meaning.

Pass the bong.

Actually the job of the dictionary is to capture the way language is being used, not to dictate it.

Zhanteimi 08-13-2017 07:23 PM

Words literally have subjective meaning.

"Crunk" is apparently now in the dictionary. Just how much weight should we really give such a book?

True that's why the dictionary is updated on a yearly basis to include words and slightly different meanings to already established words that the general consensus is using.
