      You are absolutely correct, but it equally correct that you have never said “Why are you aura farming?” to your grandma and that is what is new to the english language

          No, but I just want to reinforce that no one is arguing against you here, even though your wording is as if you are at disagreement with others in this thread. No one is arguing against anything you say, we are just adding onto it.

          You stating how long the words exist etc are appreciated as neat facts to the discussion, but they dont really challenge anyones assertions. Very cool to to be reminded of though! Using existing words that have been around for centuries and extending the meaning, not rewriting it, is how language evolves positively :)

            I feel like you replied to the wrong person. Just pointing out that that specific phrase that ChatGPT absolutely loves using?

            Never seen a real person use it.

        Sure, “aura farming” might be a new saying, but the meaning of “aura” is not.
