What I can’t get over, understand, comprehend, etc - is the use of the word “save” in this hideous context.
The word itself stirs no sense of irony in them?
verb: save; 3rd person present: saves; past tense: saved; past participle: saved; gerund or present participle: saving
1.
keep safe or rescue (someone or something) from harm or danger.
“she saved a boy from drowning”
Similar:
rescue
come to someone’s rescue
save someone’s life
come to someone’s aid
set free
free
liberate
deliver
extricate
snatch
bail out
bring off
save someone’s bacon
save someone’s neck
save someone’s skin
preserve
keep safe
keep
protect
safeguard
guard
conserve
salvage
retrieve
reclaim
Opposite:
endanger
prevent (someone) from dying.
“the doctors did everything they could to save him”
(in Christian use) preserve (a person’s soul) from damnation.
keep (someone) in health (used in exclamations and formulaic expressions).
Thanks for responding to my post.
Well played, both.
