An elegant lexeme for a more civilized time.
Re the thread, it's always fun watching a pedant get owned on the first page. Brilliant and hilarious
Going to have to agree with the OP. There's already a perfectly fine word to use, no need to mutilate an already-existing one. Looking at you there, "bae".
They're associated with the military and business, so they're double misogynastic.BAE are misogynous?
Usage Note: Historic and historical have similar, though usually distinct, meanings. Historic refers to that which is associated with significant events in history: the historic first voyage to the moon. Thus, a historic house is likely to be of interest not just because it is relatively old, but because an important person lived in it or was otherwise associated with it. In contrast, historical refers more generally to that which happened in the past, regardless of significance: a minor historical character in the novel, the historical architecture in the center of town. These distinctions are not always observed, however, and a historic tour of a city might include the same sights as a historical tour. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the context makes the intended meaning clear.
You are often quite obliging in that regard, it's true.Meh. It's not like I wasn't aware it was in the dictionary, but there are a lot of stupid things in the dictionary since it reflects what stupid people say. Having said that, once someone pointed out "sadistic" and... whatever the other example was, I was convinced it wasn't that bad after all and was quite happy I still won't use it though. Plus lots of other people said some amusing things and took it in the correct spirit, so I'm happy with that too. If that's what constitutes getting owned/rekd in your opinion, then I'm more than happy to oblige.
