Sup, I'm not sure whether this is the 100% correct board to post this stuff, but /lit/'s my homeboard and I figure that we probably have the largest population of people actively using dictionaries.

Anyway, I was discussing some political stuff earlier today, and I ended up searching for the dictionary definition of the word "bigot". I went to Meriam-Webster and saw pic related. Now, I pretty clearly remember that no that long ago, the definition there was something along the lines of: "A person not willing to entertain other people's ideas; a hypocrite."

Is my memory fucking with me, /lit/? I've a couple of studies on the phenomena of false memories earlier this year, so I wouldn't be all that shocked. Still, I believe can very well visually recall the earlier definition. Is there maybe something to the meme of American liberals changing dictionaries?
