TBF, we're the ones who've always known "water" isn't "wet", it does the wettening. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
I mean, yeah, but it's the idiom for that and is why I put it in quotes. Not all idioms make logical sense.
The fact remains.
FYI, many modern idioms are bullshit shadows of their original phrasing, (eg. "Blood is thicker...", "Great minds...", "Birds of a feather...", etc.) and arguing that they're fine as-is smacks more of anti-intellectualism (if not outright laziness) than anything meaningful. ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
But that's how language works. Things mean what the majority of people say they mean. Otherwise, everyone would still be using the n word because it wouldn't have a negative meaning. It's about communication, not absolute logic.
bad b8
You don't "know" shit, you just made that up to feel smart. Water as a substance is fucking wet, and before you challenge me you should know that we both have the same disorder.
Oh, sweetie. Aw. You're way ahead of me there. Much wow. Move along, please.
lmfao if you took this seriously I'm sorry for you but also gfy
