It really irks me when people refer to movies as "flicks".
Which I get is a little pointless since "movie" itself is a dummy moniker for film anyway.
My dumb ass literally got why it's called movie.
Like what the fuck. I've been around film in various capacities my entire life. Motion picture, moving picture and whatever other names are used I've heard. I just never actually sat down to think the etomology of the word movie until this post. Movie.
When thinking of it that way it does feel kind of derivative and childish. Like calling radio shows 'Speakies' or 'Audies' or some shit. But at the same time I just feel at this point the word stands on it own, they're movies. It's a movie. It has went far beyond being short hand for a more professional term and is now a common word in its own right.
So you got me to hate the word for a couple of seconds before coming to my senses and going back to liking it.
