GN Focus: Unreal! - John A Halford - September 1984

John A Halford

Have you noticed how what starts as slang can completely alter the meaning of a word? Take the word unreal, for instance. Today, people often say unreal when they mean fantastic, astounding or much better than expected. The party my teenage daughters went to last night was "unreal." The new shopping area that opened near us has some "unreal" stores in it. The new ice cream made from 100 percent natural ingredients and guaranteed free of all artificial flavoring tastes - er, "unreal." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
