!rant && !IT

... why does the word "secret" means two things which are basically opposites?

one being something that is/should be kept confidential (kept inside company/organization/person)

the other one being something that is... secreted (expulsed) out of body?

isn't it weird?

Ah yes, contronyms... I present to you as another example: sanction

@chilledfrogs i didn't know it has a name, thank you.

also, i'm gonna go find out what's the deal with sanction. i think i have a vague idea, but not good enough to actually know.

I can't find the second meaning in dictionaries: https://wordnik.com/words/secret/

Are you thinking of secretion?

@frogstair That is true, missed that one 😅

@Jilano I never really understood how people can remove the negative word (ne/n') from a sentence. Even if they love shortcuts as much as the French do.

@Jilano It's kinda redundant if there's also a "pas", but they tend to skip it even where there isn't.

@gronostaj yeah, i realized my mistake about half an hour after posting...

yes, it's as weird as your tag and header.

@gg45 ah... yes, that is weird, because as far as i remember, what i put into the tag box was:

"i get these sorts of thoughts when i'm drunk"

my guess is that the tag box doesn't like apostrophes, so it sanitized out my whole tag, and then since the tag value was empty, it automatically added the default "rant" tag?

either that, or option b: i was too drunk to know what i was doing.
