Seems nice has morphed as did the word “flatter/flattery”.

It is awful that the meaning of nice has changed so much.

I remember when “gay” was cheerful and happy go lucky, not a homo pervert. Times and language change I guess.

Not surprised Msgr. Pope would offer this commentary on the word “nice”. Could it be he was thinking about all those upcoming Thanksgiving Day meals and what could be taking place in regards to the conversations tomorrow at the dinner tables.

As did the word "sophisticated" - Originally, it meant "overly made and artificial". NOT "glamorous and elegant" as it is used today. (Though Hollywood/Madison Ave ads are "overly made up, camouflaged and artificial" to an extreme!}

I remember seeing Monk episode where he got a job as a fact checker by pointing out that decimate meant to reduce by a tenth. Only Monk.
