    In the same way you can’t apply narrow definition for a word to all situations, when other more contextually correct definitions exist ?

    (I mean, you can, but you probably shouldn’t)

    You can’t just expand the meaning of a well defined word just because you like the vibe of it applying to the victim group of the day.

    Also that is literally how languages change over time, so…yes, you can.

    Though having a narrow definition of what a language can and can’t be does track with your general vibe so far…
