The Pudding Club

Name: Anonymous 2014-11-23 2:31

The official /lounge/ pudding club.

No registration required, you become a member just by posting here in the thread.

So, what does The Pudding Club do? We essentially chat over a pudding, discuss current events/club-related topics and scoff at non-members.

Today's pudding is tiramisu.

It's just literal with an English -ly adverbial suffix slapped on. There's not much to prove. Ultimately, "literal" comes from the Latin "litteralis", with the definition "literary" or "epistolary." Litteralis itself comes from littera, "letter".

The point is that the usage of the word "literal" outside the context of letters is an extension of its original meaning, and is therefore a figurative usage itself.

But of course, I'm not one to suggest that etymology dictates meaning. Otherwise "manufactured" would exclusively mean an item that was made by hand. But of course, it's an interesting point to add to discussion.
