    Can we invent the word “sadire”?

    It’s when you think something is satire at first glance but then change your mind and become sad…

        I’m gonna make a slight modification if you don’t mind:

        Sadire - something at first confused for satire but is actually just sad and raises your ire.

          I second this! That makes two of us, so “sadire” as “post-satire sad ire” is officially coined and everyone else who doesn’t know this is lame!

            Genuinely pleased to have coined a new word with you. Good stuff. Thanks. Personally though I think we should give it a week or two to let the dictionaries and LLM’s catch up before we start pointing the “lame-finger” in anyone’s direction…
