Check it out: Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language College Edition -- by The World Publishing Company of New York 1966. "Harry .. a masculine name ... n. Satan, the Devil, usually Old Harry". Is that definition in there or not? It is a simple question requiring an honest answer.

One dictionary (hint: just because it says Webster on the cover doesn't make it good. Webster is not trademarked and can go on any dictionary at all). I've checked several more online sources and none of them have this meaning. Not one. I've checked two thesauri and neither have this in their list of synonyms for the devil - although the list is pretty intersting. I found "Old Nick", "Old Scratch" and similar names, but nothing to do with 'Harry'.

I feel sorry for all the devil worshippers who will go to see this movie thanks to the hype you and the other God squadders have given it. The satanists are bound to be disappointed at its relatively innocuous content. They seem to be the real victims here.
