is misusing the medical term widely adopted tho? or is it mostly online people that say / hear it?
im arguing that what is happening with the term isnt an aspect of the greater evolution of language, but that specific terms that come and go in a relatively short period of time do not equate a change of how people are doing language.
i appreciate the phrases you offered as examples, but i do not feel they are equivalents, as none of them are single words that are also literally medical terms.
im amused and delighted that we are having this discourse based on a hyper focus on a phrase. but i do hold firm that this is not a reflection of language changing as it is passing trend that in time may have no affect on the greater function of the language itself.
forgive me if i wasnt more concise earlier, im always high when im on here.
edit - i had to edit that a bunch. i should go to bed
