It’s just tiring, as having been socked myself, it doesn’t convey the impact of how deadly or severe it was. And there is always, without fail, someone who throws in an ‘actually’ comment to derail the topic when your telling the story.
I’ve used the term “almost electrocuted” and still get corrected. It’s insufferable at times, especially when (in my case) I really was at death’s door.
Spread your memes if you wish, but remember your audience. It’s just a meme isn’t a pass.
Words evolve, it’s meaning has been the same has shocked for a couple decades now. Supposed to be severely injured at least, but again, words evolve still.
Don’t get in the way of progress by being pedantic and stubborn, it only makes you look foolish for not accepting change.
The “-cute” in electrocute implies that it killed you, unfortunately, you were probably still badly shocked.
Who says I didn’t die?

More like devolve. I agree it’s acceptable now but I’m not happy about it.
I am just trying to meme, not read a dictionary 😎
Then why correct someone lmfao.
Want to dish? But not take? Lame.
It feels like you’re taking it personally, it reminds me of the meme, I posted the meme, it isn’t that complicated.
The meme doesn’t work, because your correction is wholly incorrect.
Just because you don’t like being wrong doesn’t mean I’m taking it personal. The fuck?
Are you getting mad?
No? All you’re doing is making yourself look dumber with these responses.
Peace, I’m out.
It seems like you’re mad.
I’m with you.
Granted, many people have been using it to mean “shocked”, I find that use to be problematic.
