Really hoping you mean "public discourse" :-)
- giantrobot 6y agoI hope they didn't. ;)
- technofiend 6y agoUh, well... Intercourse: noun: communication or dealings between individuals or groups. I mean how you choose to communicate or deal with people is clearly different than me. :-)
- paulnechifor 6y agoHumor aside, intercourse and discourse are synonyms. Although, intercourse is often used as short for "sexual intercourse". But you are pretty much asking for that joke (like when you still use "ejaculate" with the "blurt out" meaning).
- technofiend 6y agoI literally meant intercourse in the dictionary meaning: "communication or dealings between individuals or groups." Even so words change and usage does too; some people literally don't mean literally when they use that word, but I do. I suppose it's a matter of when you learned the definition.
- zeroxfe 6y ago> Humor aside, intercourse and discourse are synonyms. TIL, thanks. I've never heard the term "public intercourse" before, always "public discourse", so I thought it was a typo.
