different between normal vs normie
normal
English
Etymology
From Latin norm?lis (“made according to a carpenter's square; later: according to a rule”), from n?rma (“carpenter's square”), of uncertain origin. The earliest use of the word in English was to mean "perpendicular; forming a right angle" like something norm?lis (“made according to a carpenter's square”), but by Late Latin norm?lis had also come to mean "according to a rule", from which modern English senses of the word derive: in the 1800s, as people began to quantitatively study things like height and weight and blood pressure, the usual or most common values came to be referred to as "normal", and by extension values regarded as healthy or desirable came to be called "normal" regardless of their usuality.

- When used to describe a group of people, normal can be understood as meaning that those not part of the group are strange or freakish. Its usage can therefore be understood as offensive to those it excludes.
