→Not How the Term is Used
:: The definition should address how the term is used, and if it were a legitimate term then it would be in dictionaries by now.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 09:40, 25 August 2008 (EDT)

::: But again, that's how /you/ feel the term is used, which is not encyclopedic. Also your belief in the dictionary as the ultimate authority on language is flawed: language flows from the people into dictionaries, not the other way around. You also fail to take into consideration the obscurity of the term: except for here on the internet, I've yet to actually here the term used; this really is the only environment where quote mining is prevalent (due to the ease of use) to warrant calling it anything. We ought not use your definition, which isn't in any dictionary that I can find either...[[User:Jirby|Jirby]] 09:52, 25 August 2008 (EDT)
