A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I was imagining in my example that "green" might be adopted to mean red only in certain contexts, like used ironically or humorously to mean red, not in a way that erased or overrode the word's general meaning as green. This is to match the symmetry of misused words like gyatt that continue to have their original meaning and use, but get warped into a new meaning through misuse and then adoption of that misuse in a certain context, such as among white children on Fortnite.
As opposed to a complete inversion or change of the meaning of the word such that "green" would no longer mean green anymore but only mean red (this of course could still happen, it just wasn't the kind of case I was trying to illustrate).
