👉 Smashed in the context of linguistics is a misinterpretation or an error. It refers to something that is not as intended or as expected, often due to a misunderstanding or incorrect interpretation of something. For example, "The book was written by Shakespeare" might be considered a correct statement if it's meant to mean "the book was written by the author of Romeo and Juliet," but in reality, Shakespeare wrote plays like "Romeo and Juliet."
