With internet lingo constantly being updated, we get that it’s hard to keep up with the latest words and terms. Although, IMO (in Mool’s opinion), it isn’t the new words that are wreaking havoc on our senses. Instead, it’s these old words that have been used incorrectly for far too long!
Entitled
Wrong meaning: Title of a book, TV show, etc.
Real meaning: Believing you have/Actually having the right to something (for example: Everybody is entitled to a little free time every day)
Factoid
Wrong meaning: Small fact
Real meaning: A false statement (or literally anything Donald Trump says)
Inflammable
Wrong meaning: Not flammable
Real meaning: Flammable (we understand your confusion though)
Ironic
Wrong meaning: Something funny
Real meaning: Something that is the exact opposite of what you would expect
Irregardless
Wrong meaning: Regardless, without consideration of/despite the circumstances
Real meaning: Nothing. This is not an actual word. (Seriously, please don’t use it!)
P.S. You’re welcome!
