    Look, I don’t know who you are, Webster. I have done my own online research using a dictionary and that is what it means. Do you even know what a dictionary is?

      Fucking Webster chugging beers on his porch in Atlanta thinks he knows it all, what an asshole.

    With very, very few exceptions (mostly technology related), if someone claims the etymology of a common word is an acronym, they’re full of shit.

      I believe this is the answer.

      The news are the new things. New stories, events.

      Like the olds would be yesterdays news

    I mean, it doesn’t, literally speaking. But that does make a pretty good acronym for it, tbh.
