Stop being a dick, Dick. The
dictionary agrees with me. And
yes, language can evolve quickly.
Remember how quickly '***'
turned from meaning cheerful to
meaning homosexual?
Remember how 'dick' turned
from meaning a short form for
Richard to a private eye and
then as a slang for penises and
idiots? No matter how much
you want original definition
purity, there are going to be
some people who use the
modern version.

When you have nothing to say,
insulting makes you feel better.

According to the modern definition
you are indeed vegan just by doing
that. It's funny that you, a troll, is
arguing over this. I would expect
this sort of thing to be an argument
between vegans about who's really
a vegan and who's not.

Who's pretending? The dictionary
agrees with me.
