Wordplay

2018-12-29 11:45:27 UTC  

At its best

The word "unique" has a meaning. Pointing that out isn't wordplay

2018-12-29 11:45:49 UTC  

fucking lmao

2018-12-29 11:45:56 UTC  

Holdup

2018-12-29 11:46:04 UTC  

Pointing that out isnt wordplay

2018-12-29 11:46:10 UTC  

How so?

2018-12-29 11:46:43 UTC  

You mean my use of the word isnt as fine print as the dictionary and could be supplemented by another word?

2018-12-29 11:46:57 UTC  

You're using the adjective "unique" to describe something that is not unique in the common usage of the word. So you're using the wrong word.

2018-12-29 11:47:08 UTC  

That's not wordplay, that's you using the wrong friggin word

2018-12-29 11:47:20 UTC  

No its not

2018-12-29 11:47:26 UTC  

Its wordplay

2018-12-29 11:47:33 UTC  

I used a word

2018-12-29 11:47:41 UTC  

You understood the context

2018-12-29 11:47:43 UTC  

Yet

2018-12-29 11:47:52 UTC  

You questioned the word itself

2018-12-29 11:48:06 UTC  

i'm not questioning the word, I am questioning if you are a narcissist.

2018-12-29 11:48:11 UTC  

Generating a discussion outside of the actual discussion

2018-12-29 11:48:20 UTC  

I don't question the word, I question what you're using the word to describe, namely your opinion and how special/mundane it is

2018-12-29 11:48:22 UTC  

because if the opinion isn't unique, yet you find it unique because it's yours....

2018-12-29 11:48:40 UTC  

wordplay
/ˈwəːdpleɪ/
noun
the witty exploitation of the meanings and ambiguities of words, especially in puns.

🤔

2018-12-29 11:49:32 UTC  

Or the exploitation of the word in discussion or debate to play a game where you argue the legitimacy of the word usage.

2018-12-29 11:49:36 UTC  

How ambiguous the word "unique"? Is it ambiguous enough that you could pass off something completely mundane as unique? Can a word be synonymous with its antonym?

2018-12-29 11:50:18 UTC  

Are you so aspie that you're completely incapable of recognizing that you're wrong?

2018-12-29 11:50:23 UTC  

Well word usage is ambigous, would you have argued i'm of the firm opinion of?

2018-12-29 11:50:42 UTC  

Any argument you present right?

2018-12-29 11:51:34 UTC  

i think you mean "semantics" not wordplay

2018-12-29 11:51:37 UTC  

Jesus this is tiring. I just wanted to point out that your opinion isn't special because you share it with 80% of humans on this planet, and here I am minutes later arguing the definition of a word that everyone knows

2018-12-29 11:51:52 UTC  

I used semantics earlier

2018-12-29 11:52:06 UTC  

semantics:

the language used (as in advertising or political propaganda) to achieve a desired effect on an audience especially through the use of words with novel or dual meanings

2018-12-29 11:53:04 UTC  

Funny how i start a discussion upon which has complete irrelevancy to this but ends up here due to people doing this^

2018-12-29 11:53:25 UTC  

Then will you pay me?

2018-12-29 11:53:27 UTC  

It's not my fault that you're so thick and absolutely basic that it's impossible to actually talk to you about anything

2018-12-29 11:53:28 UTC  

No

2018-12-29 11:53:36 UTC  

Dude

2018-12-29 11:53:59 UTC  

You had not said anything outside of your opinion is general.

2018-12-29 11:54:15 UTC  

what

2018-12-29 11:54:26 UTC  

what does that mean

2018-12-29 11:54:29 UTC  

"Transgenderism is a mental illness" is the standard talking point, my dude. It's basically an orthodox opinion
