sdqueen : The definition for "facetious" is inaccurate.
sdqueen : Facetious can be defined as humorous or joking in often inappropriate or rather serious occasion.
romihim : thats very literal ,
sdqueen : Thats why its a negative word, as the definition stands now, it's depicted as a happy, joyful word, and that is not the case.
