Reply to comment by throwaway8272727s in In Washington heights they tour up the roads to do work and revealed the old cobblestone beneath (184 & Pinehurst) by soylentgreenis

At some point if enough people use a word colloquially for something it becomes part of the meaning. There are plenty of words that didn’t originally mean something and now do because people believed a word meant something and it became that.

I’ve never heard someone say “wow this sett road is so bumpy!” it’s always cobblestone.

And the next part is “…although a sett is distinct from a cobblestone in that it is quarried or worked to a regular shape, whereas the latter is generally a small, naturally-rounded rock.”

Really because it seems like all my rich friends have 5 prescriptions for adhd, depression, anxiety, bi-polar, etc. Most medicated people I’ve ever seen
