I don't know. You cited a youtube clip with usage of a word as a definition of a word, which I accept, actually, as an interesting and useful source. But you deny the wikipedia language I quoted as acceptable input to this conversation? Why is your youtube context more right than my wikipedia context?
Words have multiple meanings. Clearly based is one of them.
- morlockabove 6y agoI'm surprised nobody's said it, but your posts in this thread have been pretty cringe and bluepilled
- ttt0 6y agoIf someone calls a "cringe/unpleasant/racist" thing "cool", then does that mean that one of the meaning of the word "cool" is something "cringe/unpleasant/racist"?
- saagarjha 6y agoI cited it as usage of the word in context, not as a definition. I rejected your Wikipedia link because it was not an example of usage, but rather an explanation of what the thing is rather than its definition (I would expect a Wikipedia article on "based", if there ever was one, to mention that it's associated with the far right, etc. Words do have multiple meanings, but those meanings grow organically from their usage; you can't just come along and say "I associate this word with xyz therefore it means xyz". That's just how you feel about the word.
