          calling anything other than Russell's (in any of its incarnations) a paradox is isomorphic to that Alanis Morissette song

          "I want to use the law to punish people who aren't breaking the law" is a "paradox". I guess. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1400047180598104072 …

          The weirdest one def goes to the twin paradox. I approve of renaming it to the weird twin hypothetical, as @SMBCComics proposes

          TBF "paradox" in colloquial use means "counterintuitive" more than it means "logical contradiction". e.g. the birthday paradox contains no contradictions, it's just weird.

          I don't mind except for the Banach-Tarski "paradox". That is just wrong. I don't think one should get away with using "paradox" that way in math.
