"spoiler"

[azurelunatic]

I see now that people are using the word "spoiler" to indicate a warning for people who would rather not be exposed to something, rather than the strictly limited warning for people who would rather not be exposed to teasers or other limited information from a piece of media before they have the chance to experience the entire thing in context.

Amazing how the language changes.

I think I hate that word.

It was little comfort that the person using that word like that was dumber than a box of rocks.

The new usage of the word is dumb.

I agree.

Spoiling is revealing the ending.

Spoiling is not revealing what is in the TV Guide listings.

Spoiling doesn't exist for actual things.

Some cars have spoilers, though.
