Learning random cool stuff like this is part of why I like lemmy, and why I used to like reddit. Please don't shut down constructive contributions with low effort snark. And before you use your line on me, if I were fun at parties, I would get off lemmy and go to parties.
There is a difference between "btw etymological this used to mean that but since X we use it in other contexts as well" and "no, you are wrong". The difference is one is fun at parties, the other is not.
