The Word “Traditional” Redefined

The English Language is expandable. New words make their way into our language all the time.

We also “improve” our language by redefining the definition/true meaning of words that have been with us for a long time. That is what recently happened in the legal case laid out below.

Again we have a lawyer to thank for making us better.

Briefly here is what the lawyer did for us all...

• The alleged accused perpetrator of the suspected possibility of a crime planted a backpack which contained what he thought was a bomb in a trash bin near a popular bar just steps away from Wrigley Field.
• The alleged accused perpetrator of the suspected possibility of other crimes had also told others about more attacks he was planning.
• These included bombing a skyscraper and assassinating Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.

The alleged accused perpetrator’s defense attorney is trying his best to educate us about the meaning of the word “traditional”. I shudder to think what we would do without attorneys.

The attorney said his client (and I quote), “is not the traditional bad guy”.

The Smartfella? is a highly untrained observer of such Foolishness. I will be more than glad to explain this attorney’s quote to you...

• A traditional bad guy wants to try to hurt a bunch of people he does not know.
• This attorney’s accused bad guy only wants to try to hurt a bunch of people he does not know.

I sure you see the difference ... Or do you?

Would I kid u?
