Like, in real life, execute doesn’t mean to start, it means to stop…

      Even if you don’t accept the transference of a meaning from a euphemism to its own verb, you’re surely not confused by other verbs that have multiple meanings.

      When I “order” a hamburger, I’m not telling it to do anything.

      Some words even mean the opposite of themselves sometimes.

      It is what it is.

        When it comes to word salads, I tent to tell everyone the same thing…

        “I have the right to wipe my ass with a pinecone, but that doesn’t mean its the right thing to do.”

            I don’t know any other way to say that, perhaps read over my quote a few times and think about it a bit… 🤷

            💩🍍

              Oh, I get it. Reading comprehension issue on your end.

              Let me slow it down for you, champ, and then I’m out of this conversation, since you decided to turn dick about it.

              YOU NO GET BIG CONFUSE WHEN OTHER WORD MEAN TWO THING.

              ORDER MEAN TELL SOMEONE DO SOMETHING, AND ALSO REQUEST BUY SOMETHING!

              CONTRONYM LIKE SANCTION MEAN APPROVE AND DISAPPROVE AT SAME TIME!

              Hope that helped. Respond if you want, but you’re talking to yourself from here on out, buddy.
