Oh, I don’t know… the Internet spreads them faster, but sex has been around a tad longer. I’d expect most of these terms existed from before the internet even existed, or at least parallel to it.
The one random one I just looked up, Dirty Sanchez, originated from the porn industry. Shock horror lol
I think they’re mostly supposed to be fun/funny though, and not to be taken so seriously!
Also… I’m all for the language evolving and words changing their meaning over time, as they’ve always done, but that one is crazy. Hopefully common use will, in time, fix that and get that new definition changed… but ehh, I don’t hold much hope.
Bring on the AI overlords? Reading the Polity (Sci Fi) series at the moment, and it really doesn’t seem like a bad option!
I’m just going to assume they meant that sarcastically.
The title correcting it to further is what caught my attention, but no, I’m not seeing people taking huge issue with it either.
And there’s nothing wrong with being correct, I like to be eloquent too.
I was just saying farther is just as correct as further, and found it interesting is all. They may have been misused a hundred years ago, but not for a long long time, they have identical meanings nowadays!
Farther is the correct word, and has been confused with further for so long (over a hundred years), that they both mean exactly the same thing nowadays, so not sure why people are taking issues with it.
Unless I’m missing something?
I do like the idea of an address book based hitcar though.
Baldurs Gate allows “respeccing” too, which I presume is respecialistion?
It puts you back to level one, let’s you change class entirely even, but you keep your experience so you can level all the way up again straight away, making different choices.
Or, rough seas on the horizon, future looks rocky.
Thank you! I really hate super ambiguous gaming acronyms, that even as a gamer myself, I either can’t understand or have to rack my brains to figure out. It’s really bloody annoying!
