When words aren't what they mean anymore

Me too, I did my movie marathon last night. I watched Enchanted, The Bedtime story, and Cinderella on Netflix.

We have a friend who does this "movie Marathons", this is something I consider pretty silly.

i also still associate 'marathons' with running but would specifically say 'movie marathon' if i meant that instead. this reminds me, when i hear or read 'dashboard' i automatically see myself sitting in a car.

I would have done what you did. I forget about other types of marathons.

From my experience in life, marathon is always associated with running, but when people say they watched a movie marathon, they always called it "Movie Night." In general, meanings of words change all the time. Honestly, it's really annoying and sad to me because it feels like life passes by so fast, I don't even know what is what anymore and people get easily offended over any wording when you talk to me, which makes it hard to communicate with the planet.

Like when my computer tells me I have mail I have to go out and check the mailbox. :-)

hhaha funny... but true.

LOL! .. you got me checking out the definition of marathon .. "a long-distance running race, strictly one of 26 miles 385 yards (42.195 km)"..

I think she should have said she binge-watched, it is more understandable. lol

LOL... I would have thought the same thing. As for movie marathons... I can't sit in one place long enough. I can spread one movie over at least 2 nights lol!!

. That is ridiculous.. She should have told you she watched a movie marathon. Like you, I still believe a marathon is a marathon.

Ha, I would have asked the same questions as you, funny how so many are into sitting on their butts watching marathons instead of running them huh.

i had my marathon on The Omen series last Holy Week

That is not really a marathon is it!

I binge watch tv series...

lol I do movie marathons too. But I do them every Monday.

Hahaha! That's funny. But she should have told you that she went to see the movie. Just like you I also thought that she went for the race. It was only at the end I realized it was only a movie.
