Please don't cite dictionary definitions. A dictionary will give you every possible meaning of the word, in any context.

OK, knock it off. This is exactly the kind of comment that's been leading to HN's oldest of oldtimers to conclude that there's been a decline in civility here.

edit: looks like he edited his comment while I was replying; his comment originally ended with, "I hoped your ilk would never find currency on this site, but I guess the day was going to come.", and was that way for at least 30 minutes before I replied.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, I allowed my common sense to be temporarily overrode by the desire to make a pun.
