*snickering* Ah, thank you for inspiring a real title for this one, dear.
You've probably been in the fanbase long enough to have learned the term before the meaning really started to slip. It never fails to astonish me how fast it can happen, I mean, a matter of a year or two in online-based communities.
This does not stop me from railing against fate when it's an annoying shift. For instance, all the signs here in Ohio that say "Stop here to actuate signal." Yes, help that traffic light be all it can be! *facepalm*
