For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
Are there ways to say exactly this kind of happy? I’m pretty sure, happy and gay didn’t mean exactly the same. Synonyms rarely are drop in replacement.
But yes, there is a gap now. That might get filled with another word, or people get better at discerning ironic and unironic meaning. Or maybe people stop using it in this way - groovy or rad aren’t exactly common today either.
Festive.
