It also means “3rd down” or “we need 3”

The Left is know for stealing words from the English language, suddenly an old phrase means something else, usually racist.
So why not hand signals?

In Mexico, some traffic hand signals are a bit backwards to ours. A palm extended going forwards and back means “come closer” but we’d interpret as “slow down or stop”. As the gesture becomes more emphatic we might think he wants us to back up. Hilarity ensues.

When I was growing up with an air base nearby, the OK sign meant ‘flying asshole.”

You are right! And even more than that, it shows the left is up to no good.

Satan first argued the definition/meaning of what God told Adam and Eve, in order to get her to eat the fruit.

True, words can change, but willfully trying to shift focus or deceive by playing with words is the oldest trick, and in my view, one of the most evil things that can be done.

Words mean things, and I know all I need to know about someone who makes a habit of perverting the language.

- Depends on what the meaning of “is”, is.
- Gay is no longer “happy”.
- Abortion/murder
- Undocumented/illegal
- Misstate/lie

You could think of hundreds.

Soon, I’ll be scratching my nose (or something else) and someone will call 911 for making an obscene gesture. The intolerance freaks are inventing things to get their pants in a wad over. I first noticed them long ago and wondered when they would be metering my squares of toilet paper. Sure enough, singer Sheryl Crow declared (maybe as a joke) that one square of toilet paper was sufficient for any restroom visit.

When there is situational ethics with these numskulls, everything is on the table depending on their arbitrary conclusions.
