We both know you don't use that word with the very narrow meaning you now claim. You use it to signal that you're conversant in the terminology of people who like such McLanguage. There's a certain intellect that embraces these terms, and they use them to wink to one another. It's a similar intellect to that of the alt-right sorts and bigots who wink to one another using terms like "SJW," which is why I made that comparison.

It's fun to see you parse and correct someone else's use of language.
