    Indeed they do. And since you seem to be under the impression that those definitions do not change, please define ‘silly’ for me as it was defined when it began to be used in late Middle English.

    I feel you’re being silly regardless of the early or current definition of the word, but I’m betting you also don’t use the word that way.

          Because your request was rhetorical and his is not, having a concrete answer that is actually fucking relevant and essential to the discussion.
