You did define it by using it in that context.

Not how definitions work. I used the word undefined because I assumed people were aware of the meaning of the word. You can argue that my use of the word implied some particular meaning but so far you haven't.

The fact you have to write such a constipated reply for defending using a single word is because of the massive amounts of mental gymnastics you have to engage in to justify it.

No, I worded it carefully because I know people like you thrive when there's the smallest ambiguity to be found. It's not whitout a certain amount of satisfaction that I note my strategy worked, as your comment contains no new argument whatsoever.

Also is a public school also a concentration camp? Since people are held their against their will based off a common characteristic?

When you define something you usually are forced to give more than one characteristic (try it and see for yourself) and that while a lot of things share characteristics there are others that keeps them apart. It's not rocket science. Ergo, it would be naive to think that I had a one-characteristic definition in mind, but then again you don't seem to have especially high opinions of other people in general, so I guess it might be par for the course.

This is well and enough, I believe. This discussion isn't going anywhere, and I'm not here to give you the education you lack (or pretend you don't have). Hop along, boyo.
