Guys Help Me Expand My Dictionary Of Words With Submeanings - Blog Posts

1 year ago

it’s almost as if words and phrases have taken on whole new sub-meanings. Symbolisms. Strung together, they convey meanings all too common far faster.

Some examples:

-Caffeine: an unhealthy relationship with work, sleep deprivation (which itself can be a subtle pointer at one’s poor mental state)

-Hydrate/drink water: to care for someone, a shorthand to show affection of any kind

And our brains are already hardwired to process as such. Like we don’t need a dictionary on what some things may mean, usually, it’s just a vibe (vibe: general feel of something as well as how good/bad it is perceived). 

To add on, these submeanings are so commonly used that if you don’t get it life gets so much harder, I’ve noticed. but yeah just something I wanted to point out that I realised in an aha moment that words are weird nowadays
