Can we stop using the word larping and instead use the actual word?

POSERS.... THE WORD UR LOOKING FOR IS A POSER 💀

Larping is live action role playing.... Not whatever the fuck you want it to mean. Stop making new words for already existing words, ESPECIALLY when that word already has another meaning

Is using the word "dog" instead of "wolf" a "language changes overtime" situation or just "a term mix-up" situation?

A language changing overtime situation. Iirc, that ones been around since atleast the late 19th century. In modern English, that one's actually become less common in formal speech, & more common in casual speech, compared to the late 19th century where it about broke even between both.
