There’s a twitter game I love and hope will show up here. You misdefine a word, and then someone replies with “No, that’s a ‘correct word for the definition they gave’, a ‘original word’ is ‘a definition of yet a different a similar sounding word”
And then it repeats forever in the replies.Not sure how to hashtag it though. Let’s call it #BadDefinition. Remember to hashtag, because it’s hard to find replies on Mastodon. Maybe we should hash tag the word too?
For instance:
——
A vesper is a small Italian motorcycle painted cute pastel colors and well-known from Roman Holiday.
And someone replies
No, that’s a Vespa. A vesper is when someone speaks very quietly.
