“Everyone knows what “litter” is.”
You didn’t know till I posted the Alabama definition.
I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln, who once asked a witness:
"Suppose you call a tail a "leg", how many legs would a sheep have?"
The witness replied "five."
Abraham Lincoln said "No. Four. Just because you call a tail a "leg", doesn't make it so. "
I know what "litter" is, and so do most of the people.
