Words That Have Lost All Meaning
Inspired by WWCD's inspired thread but different. Some words that have lost the ability to convey the substance of their definitions because they are not up to conveying the magnitude of our shift into an alternative universe.
Chutzpah
Demoralized
Depressed
Patriotism
Class (as in classy)
Presidential
The greatest deliberative body in the world
Irony/Ironic
Truth
Fake News
Fact
Unseemly
Peccadilloes

"shame" - perfect. Pretty much supersedes or at least summarizes just about all of my initial post.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:shame
legend (with respect to musicians/bands)
"legend" - another good one that immediately calls to mind great in reference to any athlete, sporting activity/accomplishment, artist or artistic endeavor.

as seen in this excellent Sturgill Simpson interview that Bovine Knievel shared:whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:legend (with respect to musicians/bands)

The story of how Simpson got here is a bona fide country music cliché: In 2012, he and his wife Sarah sold almost everything they owned, packed an old Ford Bronco to the max, and moved to Nashville as a last-ditch attempt to make it.
