Not sure why you've bought into AF's nonsense in any part. Bigots are not rational. As such, all their bigoted claims should be viewed with extreme skepticism.

From the Cambridge Advanced Lerner's Dictionary which is a British publication:



In the 17th century, bigotry originally referred only to religion, the word changed its meaning over time in both the UK and the US. Languages evolve. Words evolve.

How exactly am I a 'bigot', American genius? Please quote, with backup facts.
Word meanings evolve, yes, but that doesn't mean losing all meaning altogether, and if they do then they are obsolete and no longer fit for use.

By the "the fact of [your] having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life". Based on this thread, evidently Americans can also be added to the list.

Please quote with backup facts and how exactly they relate to the meaning of the word 'bigot' (whatever that is). Thanks in advance. Oh, and don't forget to define exactly what you mean by 'unreasonable'

In American English usage, "bigot" NOT restricted to religious intolerance. You can accuse us of butchering language all you want, but "correct usage" of a word is how most of the language speakers use it.

From the Cambridge Advanced Lerner's Dictionary which is a British publication:

bigotry
noun [ U ] disapproving

the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life

Exactly with what was just written, and pointed out from the 'cambridge advanced learner's dictionary', obviously.
disapproving

the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life

you "accelafine" very, very clearly dislike 'other human beings', especially those of that are 'male', you also disapprove of and dislike those of a different way of life from yours, for example, what could be called the "american way" and/or ' the way of life in "gaza" '.

Why do you believe that meanings can and do evolve, but not all of the meaning altogether can be lost?

your belief and claim, here, is also nonsensical, thus is obsolete, and therefore not fit for use at all.

If the meaning of a word evolves to mean something else altogether, then 'that word' still has 'a meaning', which is obviously by its continued use, still, fit for use.

I suggest, once again, you consider critically thinking about your beliefs, prior to presenting them as claims, here, in this forum.

I don't recall asking creepy Kenny anything.
I don't have any 'beliefs'. That 'definition' is utter bullshit. Who decides what is 'unreasonable' when it comes to beliefs? What does 'dislike' have to do with the price of fish? Who gets to decide who people are 'allowed' to like or dislike? That's thought-policing. The 'bigot' there is whoever came up with that bullshit
So, what it boils down to, is that I was right, according to creepy Kenny, and 'bigot' means exactly nothing. According to that 'definition' everyone on the face of the earth is a 'bigot'.
Thanks for backing me up, Kenny, you nauseating gnat.
The word should have been left alone. Now we don't have a word for a 'sanctimonious hypocrite', and a perfectly lovely and useful word has been relegated to being a homeless weapon for morons who don't have an argument. Hmmm. It's not on its own though. There's a little cluster of such words to keep each other company.
The irony is off the charts. A delicious word that would have described wokies to perfection was hijacked and murdered by the very people it applied so exquisitely to.
Sigh.

By the "the fact of [your] having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life". Based on this thread, evidently Americans can also be added to the list.

All anyone need do is look at your recent (and not so recent) posting history to find example after example of "the fact of [your] having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life".

Like I wrote earlier, "In my experience, when you aren't trolling, you're spewing bigotry. At least you're consistent." All anyone need do is look at your posts on this very thread to find example after example of that.

And your trolling continues...

Have you considered adding anything else to your repertoire besides spewing bigotry? Suppose one could consider your willful ignorance, if not willful stupidity, as separate from your bigotry, but they tend to go hand-in-hand.

Right, just fling a meaningless, generic insult--that will shut the pesky bitch up. Thank you for proving my point perfectly. The only 'troll' here is you.
