Reply to comment by Blatmore in The city of eccentrics? by butterflybros

I don't think the definition of eccentric includes having to be wealthy.

Yes that's what I literally believe about the word "eccentric." It wasn't a reference to the cliche about crazy rich people being labeled as eccentric. It's my sincere belief.

Ah, sorry... Didn't get the reference.sarcasm ain't great in text form.

I'm not being sarcastic.

Eccentric: a person being unconventional or strange. Words aren't just about what you believe.

The important thing is that you find something about which to correct me.

What on earth does that have to do with anything?!

"we're not wealthy enough to be eccentric"

That's patently absurd. No one would ever say that.
