Saw a new one tonight. Rather than call something a "bunk bed," they called it a "buck bed."
Wonder if there is a "doe bed" that goes along with it?
And does it go with the "Chester drawers" 8 the bedroom?
What are some you've heard?

People always say, "it's a MUTE point," instead of moot point.
I could care less about this thread. Irreguardless of what others think, it's rediculous

Oh, and throw in some sort of affidavid for solid proof. I think I have a touch of old-timer's disease.

"Could care less" is a great one Doc, that one's so common it made Weird Al's song "Word Crimes".
he has several in there, including the incorrect use of the word "literally".
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
I'm sure you lawyer type have heard of the Statues of Limitations
At work, I get them all the time. My favorite is Kennel cough which is caused by Bordetella and something we vaccinate for. It is often referred to by clients as bordello which is somthing totally different!

People love to get all worked up, as if the opposite meaning of literally are a new thing. Literally has been used to mean figuratively for almost as long as as it has been used to mean literally. Since the 1700s, literally has been used to mean figuratively. This is not a new phenomenon.
Even the concept of a word having two diametrically opposite meanings is not unique. Oversight can mean to watch to prevent errors or an error that was missed. Dust can mean to remove dust (what you do to your house) our to add dust (what you do to crops/plants). Bad can mean something negative or it can mean something top notch (he's one bad guitar player).
Literally is following a similar path to the word very. Which used to mean truthful, real or genuine (same root as the Latin word veritas) but became an adverb intensifier. Other words have done this as well. For example: absolutely, really, totally, etc.
On top of that, the word definitely is beginning to follow a similar trajectory. With a figurative usage actually meaning it's opposite. I definitely
So getting bothered by the way literally is being used is a bit pointless because history shows that not only is it a valid and common definition almost since conception of the word but it is following a pathway that has historical precedent.

You just reminded me. Every job I've been employed at has had "sexual harassment training". Pretty sure they aren't training me to be a better sexual harasser.

Winner. Yes, I've been trained in that area, too.

We've all been trained in that area, it's called elementary school. So long as it ends with claiming the other sex has cooties I think it's pretty benign.

An observation which is off topic but nevertheless perplexing.
Why in the world are they still stocking toothpaste on the shelves that's not "extra whitening" ? Is there a point when you've used too much extra whitening toothpaste and your teeth are too white and you need to go with the regular toothpaste to tone them down? (This quandary does not apply to Hoosiers they need extra pink for their gums).

For all intensive purposes, this thread is defanately over.
Whitening toothpastes can cause excessive sensitivity with continuous use. While I am not one that is prone to it, I have known some others that if they used a whitening toothpaste more than a few weeks, their teeth became very sensitive and painful. Cessation of use resulted in the sensitivity going away.
I read something about the sensitivity, that's why I use Sensodine Extra Whitening which is right next to the regular Synsodine

Chester always was a crazy dude. I wonder if he goes by Chet? You know..the one who roasted nuts on an open fire every Christmas.

All a fair argument, but you're questioning Weird Al, and I'm pretty sure that's a crime, at least for us geeks.
No doubt words evolve, and often take on different and even opposite meanings, but only through what is technically a misuse of the word that just catches on, often as slang or for emphasis. Your example of "bad" is a great one in that way. I'm old enough to remember when that was still in transition, at least that's how I remember it as a kid.
But with "literally" i see it as more of a misuse due to not knowing the definition than the application of a word to be cool or hip or whatever. It's definitely being used as you describe, but I'm with Weird Al that it's just b/c people don't know what it means.

As such, I believe that people DO understand BOTH meanings and which of them is being used at the time. The meaning is clearly indicated via context and I have yet to hear a person use literal in the figurative way when the meant in the direct way.
