How short sighted. Blindingly so. Words change meaning or have meanings added to them all the time. The word narc is short for narcotics agent. It started sharing that meaning rat, snitch, and stoolie which itself is another way to say snitch. These other words are also words that acquired new meaning.
“Somehow” I’ve hit some kind of nerve with my usage of narc. A not uncommon use of it in todays world. The only people I’ve ever seen react so strongly are well, narcs. Narcs like hiding so they cant victimize while playing the victim. They get super offended when they are pointed out and identified. They cry wolf and just can help but try to convince their would be victims that they are some how wrong to think their perfectly reasonable thoughts.
Care to guess how anyone who cares enough to post two days later to convince me I’m somehow wrong gets slotted into my world view?
Well… language is used for communication. So, a shared definition of words is table stakes.
