I do think words should be accurate and consistent in their meaning. I don't think we can adjust them to suit our whims as we see fit and still expect to be able to communicate.

However, many words are simply "umbrella" words that require additional information before they can be considered even remotely specific or telling. If I tell you I own a dog, that can mean a thousand different things until I start to add specifics underneath that umbrella term. I own a Labrador. I own a black Labrador. I own a male Black Labrador who enjoys swims at the lake, snack time, and whose major turn offs include getting his nails clipped and Pomeranians. You get the point. Delia also made it rather well will her submissive descriptions.

I could go on, but I think to do so would serve no purpose other than to be redundant myself and to nod in agreement with the other folks that have posted already and, I'm sure, will continue to post throughout the day.

The only other thing I"ll comment on is the statement that kissing or having an inkling to kiss a person of your same gender automatically makes you bi. I think that might be pushing it just a ticky... I find attractive women to be very alluring, I've even kissed and fondled a few here and there. I do not, however, consider myself bi. I'm not looking to sleep with a woman, have a relationship with one, so on and so forth. There is simply a small sensual element about them that I like to indulge myself in now and again.

I also smoke a cigar here and there, and when I'm acting I close my shows by having a clove cigarette. Does that make me a smoker?

By your logic, which I certainly can follow to a degree, I am a bisexual smoker. Yet, if I were to tell any rational thinking and deciphering human being that about myself, they are going to get a wildly different idea in their head about me than what is actually accurate. Along with their definition, words also carry a connotation, which requires us as speakers and listeners to engage the subtleties of the language blended with our surroundings to decipher actual meaning as opposed to basic definition. It's more challenging, of course, than falling back on wrote memorization of terms, but the approach textures our communication and pushes it to evolve.
