OK, hows come in cases where someone is raped, molested, or sexually assaulted in anyway, they say they were fondled? Or someone will refer to it as fondling. The definition of fondle is to "touch lovingly". I would think that if someone fondled me it would be a good thing. I sure wouldn't take someone to court over it. picture this, I go to the police station, and tell the police that I got drunk and someone touched me lovingly. They'd probably threaten to beat the shit out of me if I didn't stop wasting their time. All I'm saying is we need to use our words with the appropriate definition in mind.
Like the word literally. People literally through that word around for shit they don't literally mean. That previous sentence was an example of both an incorrect use of literal and a correct use as well. Please put litter in it's place.
