Odd. You would think in that definition they would have, -somewhere-, included "geographic area consisting primarily of sand". ;) Not to mention "the act of abandoning one's post during a military conflict" (which would better explain the French etymology).
But okay, fair enough, it's a legit usage, it's just one I've never seen before.
