interested in doing housework on the cheap? /s

imagine if you had coaches this big relative to your size. this cat is just showing us how its done.

is misusing the medical term widely adopted tho? or is it mostly online people that say / hear it?

im arguing that what is happening with the term isnt an aspect of the greater evolution of language, but that specific terms that come and go in a relatively short period of time do not equate a change of how people are doing language.

i appreciate the phrases you offered as examples, but i do not feel they are equivalents, as none of them are single words that are also literally medical terms.

im amused and delighted that we are having this discourse based on a hyper focus on a phrase. but i do hold firm that this is not a reflection of language changing as it is passing trend that in time may have no affect on the greater function of the language itself.

forgive me if i wasnt more concise earlier, im always high when im on here.

edit - i had to edit that a bunch. i should go to bed

agreed, but individual terms trending or not, dont equate a “change of the language” so much as a change of whats trending in said language. a semantic nitpick, to be sure. :)

true all around

edit … on second thought, im not sure i agree its a “natural change in language” so much as it is a cultural meme that people just thoughtlessly parrot. so, i feel language hasnt changed so much as a term of the moment has. but anyway, im rambling. cheers.

when did it become acceptable to just call everything autism? i can tell you im pretty damn sick of it and it hasnt even been that long.

ofc not, they are just fixing their fur

90s kid here. i dont get it.

slow clap
