Absolutely disagree on it being a trustworthy source, it is a collection of links to potential sources. I’m trying to verify by asking, but instead i get some lecture about how sources work. I still haven’t gotten an answer other than a Wikipedia-link, which isn’t a source. If i wanted to i could go in to the page and change the meaning to whatever i want. In a fast changing language climate, i’d like to hear what others mean by what they say. Especially since i didn’t know the term and what i thought it meant was contradictory to the meme.

I don’t think you fully grasp how Wikipedia works and how much work is put into it to keep it up to date and accurate. Maybe you should try changing the meaning on that page and see what happens (although I don’t actually condone that kind of behavior).
I could vouch for that specific article, because it words it better than I could. But, it seems you’d rather have a ridiculous argument than have your question answered…

Would have loved to have the question answered, but instead i get a slightly sardonic and demeaning response, like I’m the idiot for not knowing. Followed by, in my opinion, a lazy response pointing to Wikipedia.
I know it takes work to keep it up to date, but that’s not the point…
