Comment on No one: Mexican restaurant names
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIf 99% of the common is for sexual molestation them it means sexual moleststion in common usage even if it means something else in other contexts where the meaning hasn’t changed. Nobody is going to think someone means anything else when someone says their uncle molested them.
Definitions outside of structured settings like science or law are based on common usage.
