That’s not the greatest of links, a better link is wiktionary, which still supports the claim
> A person who habitually scolds, in particular a troublesome and angry woman.

edit: Please leave me out of your mud-slinging fight. I simply wanted to provide a better link about the assertion, I make no other claims about what hole of Elon you use for what else.
- LightG 4y agoWiktionary ... or actual lived experience in the UK. Which one are you going to choose? 'Scold', in the UK, is 99.9999% NEVER used in that context. The 0.001% use case is probably your comment.
- spoiler 4y agoI've clicked the link in the original post too, but that seems to refer to an archaic use of the word. We don't live in 1600s England. Do people use "gay" for happy, or "thou" is part of every day speech? So, if people use a word in a modern sentence, it should be interpreted by it's contemporary meaning. That's not what happened though. Someone read an article, where someone described a group of people with holier-than-thou attitudes (granted, sometimes they make good points, but let's get real: its Twitter, so there's few good points to be had in general). This person then decided to cling onto a footnote about archaic use of a single word to insinuate Musk is a misogynist (and maybe he really is, I don't know). If I was being facetious I could say your use of "link" reminds me of chains and slavery, and call you an insensitive micro-aggressive racist. It would, of course, be ludicrous. (Edit: I forgot this did happen with git actually lol)
