what it means
Designated means chosen and named for a job, out loud, so that everyone knows which one you are. It is built on sign — to designate is to mark something out — and the marking is the whole point. A designated driver is not merely the person who happens not to be drinking; they are the one the group named at the start of the night, which is exactly why it is hard to quietly change your mind at eleven. The same weight sits in a designated area, a designated seat, a designated survivor. Somebody decided, the decision was said aloud, and now it is yours.
Designated es elegido y nombrado en voz alta para un papel, de modo que todos saben cuál eres. Está construido sobre «signo»: designar es marcar. El conductor designated no es el que casualmente no bebe, es el que el grupo nombró al empezar la noche — por eso ya no puede cambiar de idea en silencio.
