    Fuck it, why make sure that words mean anything! Just allow everyone to lie and be dishonest all the time with no repercussions. I’m sure society will do just fine.

      I guess once someone chokes to death on the bone of a boneless wing, the case will be revisited. Maybe… Maybe then it’ll be fixed… If we’re lucky.

      Frankly, the real issue here is that “boneless wings” is a bullshit term in the first place. They’re just chicken nuggets, people!

      A seedless watermelon I bought once had a seed in it. What is society coming to?

        This is an implied warranty of merchantability issue. They said boneless and it had a bone. In your watermelon example if you were hospitalized it’d be a valid claim to make.

          Noted. I’ll see you in the ER after I go in for an existential breakdown. If words don’t mean what they say they mean, what does anything mean? See a shrink, get labeled with PTSD, then I can sue the shit out of faceless corporate shitbags.

          The new American dream.
