People do not learn words in their own language by cracking open a dictionary or drilling vocabulary excercises. They learn by listening & imitating to how others use them.

Hence the curious phenomenon of libtards online slinging around terms as insults despite the actual meaning being quite different. Like children who learn "fuck" before they know what sex is, they will call fathers "incels" and film scholars "media illiterate" because all they know is that they're negative words.
