But, hey, as Tweedledee and Tweedledum observed, words can mean what we want
them to mean.
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, 'it
means
just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many
different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master--that's all.'
