Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In the way it is used, it is.
Saying stuff like "aura farming" or "that man has aura"
That meaning is 166 years old. The word itself is around 500 years old.

You are absolutely correct, but it equally correct that you have never said "Why are you aura farming?" to your grandma and that is what is new to the english language
Sure, "aura farming" might be a new saying, but the meaning of "aura" is not.
You are absolutely correct, but no one said the word's meaning changed— just used in new ways that mean the same but have implications based on context ;)
...Found the LLM?
No, but I just want to reinforce that no one is arguing against you here, even though your wording is as if you are at disagreement with others in this thread. No one is arguing against anything you say, we are just adding onto it.
You stating how long the words exist etc are appreciated as neat facts to the discussion, but they dont really challenge anyones assertions. Very cool to to be reminded of though! Using existing words that have been around for centuries and extending the meaning, not rewriting it, is how language evolves positively :)
I feel like you replied to the wrong person. Just pointing out that that specific phrase that ChatGPT absolutely loves using?
Never seen a real person use it.
I aint changing my habits because of some silly robot
