    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… 🤷‍♂️

      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.

        Are we ignoring 1-b?

        happening without intent or through carelessness and often with unfortunate results

        🤷‍♂️

            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.

            Let’s wrap this up shall we. 🙄
