This is the one word that absolutely sends me. I stop giving a shit about hiding the autism and just start seeing the person who utters it as a complete drooling droopy eyed bellend, and discard everything that they might say because of it. I can take all of the clichéd twittertard terms, even if they irritate me to various degrees, over a phrase that ends with "though".

The thing I've noticed about zoomers is how they cope with clown world; a world in which they were born into and which they bare no responsibility for making. The coping is in part noticing all of the odd aspects of CW, but also in mixing up the mundane aspects of human life that existed prior to clown world. It's as if they take all human existence to be something just made up in the last decade and thus ready for critique. So on one hand they will accurately "call-out" something like the continued debasement of language among their peers, but lump in mundane language as if that is also a new debasement. They have no understanding that much of what they consider to be cogent sparks of social-critique have already been discussed widely in the 90s.

It's hard to present a list of items of this odd behavior, but I notice it like spotting an ESL. You are simply from a different place (time-wise) and arrive with certain assumptions.
"Though" being a word widely used for God knows how long, simply isn't the linguistic hill you should be fighting upon.
Anyway I should make an essay on this regardless of how much I've had to drink tonight.

I suppose what I'm getting at with this post >>2141160 is that linguistic fashion and clothing are both fashions. Trends if you like. Saying one trend is better than another is merely a cope. There is no true fashion in the same way there is no true linguistic fashion.
Zoomers have incredibly odd fashion sense, but to get bothered by it is the wrong path. I went to the mall today for xmas shopping and saw zoomers all wearing either sweatpants or "mom jeans". We called them mom jeans in the 90s because our fucking moms wore shit like that. And the broccoli hair style? What's with that? But I'm not taking a position other than befuddled amusement. It's neither right nor wrong, simply odd is what it is.

It simply makes semantic sense. Build off of something makes little to no sense. Build onto something makes more sense. Similarly, if you have a base, based on makes sense, as you are setting a concept upon another for a foundational sense of truth. Based off makes little sense, as you are not doing so.

Not that anon, but the entire fashion sense of zoomers implies "hasn't it always been like that/this"
Mom jeans universally were mocked not that long ago. The idea of a young woman putting on public display her FUPA would have been a nightmare scenario for X-ers and Millennials, they'd wake up in cold sweat if they dreamed anyone noticed that part of their body. (I happen to be a FUPA enjoyer but I'm also on 4chan rn)
Wearing sweatpants around in public was also shame inducing unless your were on your way to the gym or hockey practice.

>Well try a physical book. They include word origins
The dictionary that was linked is just a digital version of the "Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary", a physical book.
And the entries linked all include etymology. You obviously didn't even look at them.
Not that etymology is the measure for a word being slang or not.

>>How did Grimms turn into grammar?
Is that a question or are you quoting someone? Niggers here can't even use greentext correctly but they will lecture you on proper English.
Anyway the Grimms were philologists, they studied language, especially what was written in that language.

>>21411846
>It simply makes semantic sense
Lol, you're talking about semantic sense in a language that can't tell apart singular and plural "you". The building *off* is metaphorical, not physical building, and it suggests building into any direction (as in "walking off", etc.), rather than only following what the base was originally intended to support. Being unable to intuitively recognise this distinction suggests an autistic, literalist mind, completely unfit for language or literature.

I was quoting myself. You seem to be a man of poor reading comprehension. For that I am sorry. You admit, yourself, you cannot tell the difference between singular you and plural you. You seem to think you can build something off of an unrelated thing without a connection to the original. Be it metaphorically or literally, it's not a good idea to do so, as your concepts would be unlinked or your walls would be shaky. You seem to be a dull man who is not worth much note.

The English language can't. I can, don't worry, since I know other languages too.
>You seem to think you can build something off of an unrelated thing without a connection to the original.
But the new thing is not unrelated to the original. Of course they're connected, that's why the phrase is used, but the difference is that the connection isn't linear, predictable, as it would be when you build the base of a building and then the floors on top of the base.

I can taste the apple. I can feel it's waxy pesticide covered skin on my own. I can rip it apart and feel the stem pressing into my palms and as it tears I can hear it rip and smell the juices as they fly into the air. I can count the seeds visible from the rip. I can drop it out of my hand and watch it fall to the ground. I can hear it hit the ground in front of me. The other half, still in my left hand, I can take a bite of and taste it's flesh. I can feel my gums bleed onto it and when I look I can see my own blood there, and take another bite so no one sees to avoided the feeling of embarrassment I would feel if someone noticed my gums were so unhealthy that eating an apple makes my gums bleed. I don't really like red delicious, never found them very delicious to be honest. The mealy texture on my tongue and the overly sweet flesh with the waxy thick skin has always been off putting. I can see the skin and pick at it with my fingernail and feel it underneath my skin. I can see the little white specs. The way my Christmas tree reflects off it's edge. If you think aphantasia is a way to identify hylics perhaps you are one yourself. I am, in a sense, hyperphantasic. I'm a schizophrenic murderer.
