    It doesn’t mean “peaceful negotiator” etc. in any recorded English literature since the inception of the word… somehow what you call “use” has avoided every English publication ever printed for sixty years.

      And if you engaged with my actual arguments and points instead of blandly asserting “I’m right and you’re wrong,” you’d understand why.

        Oh, I get it! By ‘use’ you mean "no one has ever said this ever’, just like by “tankie” you mean “peaceful negotiator”!

        Now I’m not sure what you mean by arguments and points… obviously by argument you mean agreement, and by point you mean vague nonsensical claim not reflected anywhere in English ever.

        Right?

        By right, I mean you’re wrong.
