Neat, good to know the real term.
Admittedly, as I an a lay person, using a commonly understood term in a social context does seem more productive/efficient than using the proper medical term, then explaining it.
It's sort of like how we say people will vote for Harris or trump when in actuality they are voting for electors, but everyone (well, except for a worrying number of Republican crazies and a disgraced former president) understands them to be the same thing.
That's fair! It's just one of my favorite ones to chime in with. No offense was meant
Some taken at first, none now. Especially as I imagine you see that incorrect application thrown across the internet with reckless abandon!
