Why are you the only person who ferreted out an obscure word from Urban Dictionary in order to interrogate the poster? You do realize that many words in the Urban Dictionary are so obscure that most people know nothing about them and they will never be included in a standard dictionary?

You have made a mountain out of a molehill. I wouldn’t be proud of it.

I didn't ferret out anything as you wrong conclude. I looked up the word. It appears only in the urban dictionary. Many young posters here know the urban dictionary like I might know the standard dictionary.

Again you are wrong. You have made a major issue with me asking the poster if the urban usage of that word, that appears in no standard dictionary, was his intentional usage.

You know nothing and without his responding I know nothing. I was merely giving him the opportunity to confirm or deny that his was his intentional usage.

Want to try more and make more guesses? So far they have been worthless as this conversation.

It should not matter to you one way or the other if I ask the person for clarification.
