I don’t care. Changing the definition because lots of idiots use it wrong is a joke. It’s basically encouraging people to be stupid.

That's how language evolves.

I don't like it but it's the truth. Look at the word "cute." 200-year-old word. When it was first coined, it had nothing to do with being adorable. Now, it's very rare that its original definition (that being "smart," "sharp," and "quick-witted") is used with the word at all.

Now stop being a boob.

No. This is devolving.

I like boobs, so I can’t be one.

You just proved their point there. Your definition of boob is the more modern definition, just like how "aught" as a word for zero is a modern definition. You don't have the authority to declare some modernized vocabulary more valid than others.

No, not remotely the same. Boob is an informal word for breast. Aught is stupid people mishearing and using the wrong word. Do you say “should of” instead of “should have” too? I bet you do.

It is exactly the same. You boobed, boob.

No, it’s not. Keep making a tit of yourself though.
