That's just misapplying an academic definition in a colloquial circumstance, which happens a lot in various disciplines. It's like the "what is a vegetable" question: it means different things to a botanist, chef, and tax collector.
Ah, the American Millennial: the generation that could've led us toward utopia if they cared more about actions than words.
(yes I see the whole academic definitions thing as a specifically Millennial trait)
So just dismiss everything the person tried to explain to you, because you've decided, with absolutely no proof that they're millennial? The fuck is wrong with you?
No??? But, like, a lot of them seemed to not know the difference between "this is what this word means here" and "this is what this word means."
