Looking through another thread about how words change their meaning I was reminded of the word 'sad'. This used simply to mean unhappy but in more recent years it has taken on a wider defenition.

However, how would YOU define a 'sad man'? I'm not sure how I would as there seems to be no clear defenition.

Someone who invites ridicule.

err....the opposite of gay?

I'll get me coat... :blush:

Kirky seems quite happy to me, a bit queer but never sad :P :P :P

Sad is when someone starts up a new thread which is almost identical to a previous thread, and is therefore using up bandwidth for no apparent reason :rant:

One who acts in a manner that invites pity, for whatever reason.

Yeah thats terrifyingly sad.

today a sad man is a person who does somthing out of the ordinary that we dont like or understand.

Blokes who have hobbies are described as 'sad' by women who don't have hobbies.
Women who clean obsessively & suffer anxiety after watching GMTV et al that their house is not upto the minute decorated, that judge others on the appearance of their homes & expect to be judged on theirs, are seen as 'normal'.

I don't understand it. :loopy:

A sad man.....one who spends all day in the forum.....
One who posts threads that have no relevence to anything that is debatable....

I am a sad person...cause I have come on here whilst being on holiday from work and found myself having nothing better to do than read a lot of the SAD threads posted in here.

In this case "sad" means "pathetic" and to be pitied
