Bitch Semantics

When Sean feels like being a little bitch and argues the meaning of "never mind".

This condition is usually related to having sand in his vagina. Since he can't get it out he gets a little perturbed and all bitchy.

arguing semantics

A phrase commonly used as a rebuttal in arguments, with two common meanings:

1) The person using the phrase has been subjected to a statement or argument that they don't like, but can't argue against; or

2) The person using the phrase doesn't understand the argument, or objects to or doesn't understand the use of polysyllabic words.

Semantic Band-Aid

All the verbal things one scampers to congure up, contort, and convey as sincerely as possible to patch up whatever's left of what was once an intimate relationship.
Janet: You broke up with Chad?!? Super-sensitive Chad? He's gonna implode!
Beth: I know! Too sensitive! That was the problem! So tonight I'm getting more stoned than the 10 commandments and write down every Semantic Band-Aid I can possibly pull out of the universe's bing-hole to make sure he doesn't mistake his dog's bed for his mother's womb and his Pabst bottles for breasts for the next half-year.

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.

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.

SEMANTIC FIDELITY

How well a message preserves its core meaning as it moves through filters, algorithms, translations, or people. High fidelity means the intent survives. Low fidelity means the words still look right but the meaning has drifted.
“I told him I needed support, and he sent me a link to a productivity hack. Zero semantic fidelity.”
