Okay, I can’t help a final encore because you so readily play the fool.

Tee hee.
The point of the “irregardless” is to shut down conversation. So “irregardless” is a word.
Yes it is a word. And as vindictive as said dissenter is (must have the last word - must), good luck shutting this down. Waiting…

Communication depends on shared understanding of the meaning of words and phrases. If enough people misuse a word or phrase, that meaning will eventually end up in dictionaries, but I don’t think that’s the case here.
The original post in the Bang Bang topic was about a serious bang bang, in fact a bang bang bang bang bang bang.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

“Grazing” has been in common use for over 40 years and that definition was added to most dictionaries long ago.

I love “xoxo.”
Throwing out the word “Hitler” does not invoke Godwin’s law any more than spreading a normal-sized meal across two restaurants constitutes a bang bang.
Yes, I know. And I’m the one who keeps insisting that it’s a crawl, not a bang bang.

I was a big fan of Gossip Girl.
To me, a proper “crawl” is hitting a series of places for the same thing, or a series of places of the same kind: sausage crawl, BBQ crawl, bakery crawl, ice cream crawl.
I’m pretty sure the original was “pub crawl,” which dates back to the 1920s, if not earlier.
That seems valid, but it’s also been put forth that grazing is limited to one location, as in the NYT article I linked to upthread. And the one you linked to.
