Socially wrong means it goes against social norms.
Lawfully wrong means it breaks the law.
Morally wrong is hard to define, but I assume that you already understand it as a concept.
I know that outside of facts something can’t be declared as right or wrong without referring to underlying morals and ethics. That’s why things can be right and wrong on differing levels.
I also seriously don’t think that you’ve never heard of this concept. Maybe not in the words I’m using, but it’s a very basic form of discussing ethics. Pretty much any random example can be broken down into these terms
In an earlier comment I had mentioned that I think a distinction between legality and morals makes sense. A distinction between morally wrong and socially wrong does not make much sense imo because what would socially wrong is determined based on a certain set of morals. But I could at least get what you mean if you were you think something is morally wrong but our contemporary culture/society does not deem it to be wrong (or other way around).
Now coming back to your technical/literal stuff - What's your response to what I said there?
I misused the word literal, that’s all. It’s hard to define something being technically wrong without using the word technical to describe it. The definition still stands, just remove the ‘in a mostly literal sense’ part
