semantic

1. a number that just increases every time someone does something, because doing things properly is hard.

Ive just made a code change. I expect semantic versioning to automatically increment, because bumping a version up (0.0.1 -> 0.0.2) by 1 is hard.

Since then, the polish use the phrase "śemaneczko" to curse someone who did a very bad thing.

- Hey John, I fucked your mother yesterday.

semantic regime change

When the meaning of words shifts so drastically that reality itself starts to feel like a glitch. Usually driven by cultural agendas, internet discourse, or corporate rebranding.

Examples:

"First, 'disruption' meant innovation—now it means getting laid off. Another semantic regime change, baby."

"Remember when 'outside' meant nature and not just…vibes? Total semantic regime change."

Semantic Drift

When words stop meaning what they used to. Over time, phrases get watered down, co-opted, or twisted until they lose their original punch. Think “literally,” “authentic,” or “disruption.”

Startup bros calling every idea ‘disruptive’ is just semantic drift in action.
