I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?

    The problem is that when a word means one thing and it’s anonym at the same time, it does make it hard to tell which one they’re using. Usually it’s easy to tell, but not always. It’s not about prescriptivism, rather utility. I’m fine with language changing, but I hate losing useful words.
