I shoot 3-gun and there are a number of terms that are specific to firearms and our sport. Not everything is in the dictionary, but that's fine.So long story short according to a couple of people here we are supposed to live by a dictionary. So the authority on things is a bunch of researchers who spend their time behind a desk
Those living a particular lifestyle do not constitute the majority of those whom the term applies to.The people who actually live the lifestyle have no authority to call themselves what they choose.
A fetish subculture versus 2% - 4% (or more) of the men with children or 10% - 15% (or more) of the men that have been married and 30% of women that have been married.Desk jockeys with no clue over ride the people with actual experience?
But the fact is that if you want to accurately communicate with those outside of a fetish subculture, you need to follow the definitions that the rest of the world uses. The same applies to when we write 3-gun articles for the general public--we avoid using terms that most people aren't familiar with.This is an erotica site not a vocabulary test
"Bookworm posers"? Seriously? We were having a polite conversation and you're resorting to name-calling.The people who think life works according to dictionary and text books have no place telling people who live life what they should call themselves.
Yet here they are on what is pretty much a sex site.
You bookworm posers can keep your websters the rest of us will live actual lives.
