    Why do people use insert lingo specific to a community here in colloquial speech when it means something very specific to me?!

    For me, it’s “antisocial”. Anybody else got good examples?

    Edit: “hallucinogenic” vs “psychedelic” is another good one. Why doesn’t everyone know the definitions of words that I know the definition of??

      A symbiotic relationship can be many things. Mutualistic (both organisns benefit), parasitic (one benefits, one harmed), and commensalism (one benefits, one is unaffected)
