I admit I kind of love it when one of those "let's see you THIS!" types challenges me to define something. They think you can't do it, is the weird thing!
In my experience, usually people know what they mean by a horrible word. Even if they can't define it - they know it pretty strong, pretty clear. A little effort and precision and bam.
Yet how petty it is to take such pleasures in words, when what the word refers to is so wrong and dumb it shouldn't even exist as a concept.

Thank you.
