this is actually such good timing cuz another post had the exact same comment, the term "pov" is experiencing semantic drift, and it happens all the time! so this is correct use of the term "pov" because it has been redefined via the cultural/societal understanding of it! we dont serve language and its definitions, it serves us and changes to do what we want (we want to convey ideas/concepts)

a good semi-recent example of semantic drift is "nimrod." bugs bunny called elmer fudd nimrod to mock him, viewers didnt know nimrod was a greek god and just assumed it meant "idiot" or something similar, and now today it has become a part of the words definition,

so you saw a dumb POV meme and went "what the fuck is he saying?? what the fuck is going on??? POV of what??? i dont get the joke! i dont get whats happening??"
