Homophobic
I found this movie to be very homophobic.
shareYou found this movie to be afraid of homosexuals?
shareJust because the divided root predicates of a word mean something doesn't mean that when you combine them the new accepted definition, as evolved naturally through etymology, takes on the literal meaning of those roots. The word homophobic does not literally mean "afraid of homosexuals." This is the nature of language.
...but then you knew that, and were just being an *beep*
The word homophobic does not literally mean "afraid of homosexuals."Actually, the LITERAL meaning is exactly that. What you mean is the COLLOQUIAL meaning that is different...
