Explosion

-

The meaning and usage of words can change over time. For example, “silly” used to mean “blessed”. But sometimes it would be better if we just stuck with the original definition. As we wait to see if the world will disappear in a mushroom cloud, it is worth noting “explosion” originally meant to send off by clapping or hissing and came from the stage. If only we could do that to Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, the world might feel like a much safer place.
