So, cynical and ignorant. These are two words that I seem to use in a different way than others. Jon and I were speaking about the word cynical the other night and it was the first time I became aware that some folks use it as a synonym for bitter. Which just seems weird to me 'cause I always used it as the primary definition: to be mistrustful of

A 40-year-old man callin' himself "young" makes me chuckle too.

[dyvinesweetness]

Haha. Word.

what's more...

So what you're saying is

Haha, I also never take people seriously when they start a sentence with this. My LSAT book told me that any argument rebuttal that starts with this will always be flawed.

I like "my." lol It reminds me of "my word" which is funny to me.

[richirch2]

I don't define cynical like you or the dictionary.

And I now realize that people probably don't understand what I mean when I say cynical. Which is okay since I don't use the term often.

And yeah @ "world traveled" lol. I have a friend who thinks he's on another level knowledge-wise cuz he's been to Europe a couple times. I try my best to resist the urge to deflate ego bubbles... but it's so fun sometimes!

[dyvinesweetness]

How do you define cynical? (And my way is the dictionary way lol)

[richirch2]

My definition is more closer to apathetic... but an apathy enduced by feeling powerless?

[forwhataim]

I use ignorant and ignant. Ignorant's definition can be found in the dictionary. Ignant is that other definition that you're not familiar with.

[dyvinesweetness]

Oh ignant is something different. But then again my use of ignant is a bit non-standard too. And it changes depending on the context.

Yea, I wouldn't say that cynical and bitter are the same, even though both apply to you.

[dyvinesweetness]

It's good to see you're still as hateful as ever, Laney. I wouldn't want you to go acting like a normal human being and confusing me.
