“Back in the day at college we had dictionary’s where you could look up the definition of a word”

Nowdays dictionary themselves are considered racist since they were put together by whites.

But more than that, according to postmodernism, which is all the rage and is the cause of all the cultural confusion and animosity we’re experiencing, words have no specific meaning - you make it up as it suits you.

Just an FYI-back when the word ‘marriage’ had the meaning of ‘the union of a man and a woman’, in the dictionary, I used to point that out to those who were claiming that it really just meant two people who loved each other. After I had pointed out that OBVIOUS TRUTH, the dictionaries ALL changed the definition to include ‘two men or two women’. I thought Webster and Funk and Wagnalls must be turning over in their graves.

Walking with my son this summer on the boardwalk, skateboarders go by and one guy points to him and shouted:

“SICK T SHIRT DUDE!”

Son said - that means its good.
