In these modern times, whether it news, day to day, or on here, I’m realising many American throw around terms with no idea of their fundamental meaning, just because they heard someone else using them.

It is so fucking confusing. And of course these are the kind of people that don’t like being told that they are making little sense, l failing to understand what a word means and the context in which to use it.

For example, both sides regularly call each other “the libs”. Then when you ask them what that is, you get two completely opposite concepts (obviously) of which both fundamentally oppose liberal thought, bar one or two specific of the many ideas.

It can only start from either a single misunderstanding or deliberate misinformation and then spreads like wildfire via types of media, because apparently many Americans hate taking a few seconds reading up on something prior to adopting it into their everyday outlook. The indoctrination is so easy and has been wildly successful.

So, watch more people adapt “grit” as a word, using it so out of context and so frequently, it may as well he “squanch.”
