Uh, my argument is that my eyes see no devils yonder. If you’d like to know why, I guess, have a look at 1-a.
I should have pulled up a dictionary to begin with, honestly. I just thought I was arguing from a more colloquial standpoint. Which I would still defend; I love slang.
So you’re making some strange argument for some reason, and providing evidence to support your claims that actually show evidence to support my claims, but you want me to ignore that part.
Mate, I’m familiar with the history of the word. I don’t read any negative connotations in the form OP is using.
Alright, mate.
Then I don’t understand what you’re argument is. You know the connotation people have, you know the origins of the word… 🤷♂️

Are we ignoring 1-b?
🤷♂️
I mean, I was hoping to, yeah.
I don’t much care about 2 or 3 either.

Let’s wrap this up shall we. 🙄
The strange argument is that they meant to use definition 1-a, and they did. It is a perfectly normal use of the word.
