[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (1 child) Does the application of glue to paper not make that paper a sticker? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Slow@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago (4 children) I’m not an english speaker. In my region, a sticker is considered to be paper that initially has a sticky layer. The paper that needs to be glued with glue from a tube is just paper. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 26 points 2 years ago All stickers initially didn’t have a sticky layer, then had one applied. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MxM111@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (2 children) You can absolutely call a glued paper which made to look as a sticker and glued to the surface a sticker. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) You can but you'd be wrong. I hereby declare that a sticker is defined as having a back layer that you easily peel off, exposing the adhesive, before applying. If you create something to that effect, sticker. Otherwise, it's just glued on paper. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) K. But the person applying glue to paper and setting said paper would then be called a sticker. And the way language works, in a generation or two, the word sticker will then reference that glue-paper arrangement. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* If he manages to apply an easy removable layer to the gluey part, then the person will be holding a sticker in his hands. It's all about being able to carry it around without it sticking anywhere, but also just to stick it anywhere you like, after easily removing said layer. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Slow@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) In my language it will sound like “Sticked advertisement” or “Sticked piece of paper”. A sticker is a paper with a sticky layer that is applied to this paper at the factory. I'm just talking about the difference in languages. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (3 children) What if I remove the sticker (without tearing it somehow) and then reapply it with glue?

The one who sticks advertisements and earns money from this is called a derivative word from the word “Sticker”. In english it would be something like "Stickers boy".

Typically, advertisers use cheap glue, which makes it impossible to carefully peel off the advertisement. The paper will definitely tear. However, if the paper has a polyethylene base and a special type of glue is used, then I think such an advertisement can be peeled off and called a sticker. I just haven’t heard of anyone peeling off advertisements and sticking them back. permalink fedilink source parent [–] xilophor@programming.dev 1 point 2 years ago Clearly not, it's a glueer! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aremel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago You are right, I am just being pedantic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago This is true to how it works in american English, yeah. permalink fedilink source parent
