Redefined...

1. Gay=

Dictionary Definition: having or showing a merry, lively mood

Redefined: Gay is now used to describe homosexuality, but now in a derogatory sort of way. Even if a person is not gay, if they do something stupid a person may say, "you're gay."

2. Bro=

Dictionary Definition: brother

Redefined: "Come at me bro" is a popular term used on the show Jersey Shore. Now bro, or brother, does not in fact mean brother. Any man, or even woman I suppose, could be referred to as bro. Sort of jsut someone you become aquainted with.

3. Love=

Dictionary Defiinition: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person or sexual passion of desire.

Redefined: Nowadays, love seems to be such a meaningless work. Young kids are prone to use it only weeks after meeting someone. Most people do not really know what love is.

4. Facebook=

Dictionary Definition: directory listing names and headshots, by 1983, originally U.S. college students, from face (n.) + book. The social networking Web site dates from 2004.

Redefined: Facebook is a database which allows for major creeping and stalking on those you may or may not know. It undergoes changes to the setup monthly and is extremely addicting.

5. Word=

Dictionary Definition: a unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written representation, that functions as a principal carrier of meaning.

Redefined: Word is no longer only used to describe the language written down on a page, but can also be used as a meaning of agreement, or to let someone know that you like something that they said.
