Message: [QUOTE="ninety-nine, post: 5341290, member: 5497"] Dwyane Wade is not alone in the redefining of "GOAT." I'm seeing a trend of lots of athletes using GOAT figuratively, as in "Patrick Mahomes is the GOAT of this era of NFL quarterbacks." (I heard that one last week on Good Morning Football, I believe.) Maybe people are forgetting what the acronym actually stands for. Well, I suppose if "literally" can come to mean figuratively, which is pretty much its opposite, "GOAT" can come to mean greatest of right now, rather than all-time. Not gonna lie, it kinda bugs me. Words encompassing their opposites doesn't leave much room for clear communication. [/QUOTE]
