I miss when gay means happy.
Okay I’m not that old but i had a boss who said he’s old enough to remember when gay literally means happy.
For me, my little pet peeve is when society changed the meaning of ironic to mean joking or satirical.
I would argue irony is PART of satire, not irony is satire.
I agree, but also I just really like Sheevposting.
Did they ‘literally’ changed it?
Perhaps not officially but i can see scholars eventually yielding to equate irony to mean satire.
I remember growing up when the word ultimate is used everywhere and being equated to “super duper”. I later learned it ultimately (no pun intended) means final. I guess the same will happen to the word irony now also to mean satire.
That’s literally insane
I can’t believe you’d use the word like this!
