happy and homosexual are the only two meanings for the word "***"
you can't just decide what a word means
Soul Blade:

How many times do I have to say how ignorant you are being?

If you were taught that "are" meant "go" then would it not have a different meaning? Meaning of words are determined by the people, not by books. People create the books to give language more meaning, as people give more meanings to more/same words, the books are then updated to hold the new meanings.

What you just said is like saying books create words. That is not how it is.
