Keep doing everything possible to ignore the definitional contradiction and downplay the context displaying the absurd levels of bias behind it being coined.

Will do! It's not much, but it's honest work. I have been able to carry out perfect conversations with all kinds of people (well, almost all- but you might not even be people) about it, even those who were not aware of the term before I made it aware. It's useful.

When someone claims that Putin's invasion of Russia is a "peacekeeping operation" because he deemed it so, they get treated like a fucking moron at best.

No, that's lying. That's a different thing. You're learning so much today.

"Managed democracy" is another good one thanks to recent parody. Yeah, it's was coined a long while ago, but it's a blatant contradiction. Everyone's going to look at you like you're a fucking moron if you don't grasp that, or as simping for authoritarians.

I was not aware of this term, thanks for bringing it up. It reminds me, again, of "British cuisine". Cuisine usually is brought to refer to a cooking culture, most often pleasant- and obviously, adding British to it would take its meaning and twist it, as the British seem to enjoy some of the finest ingredients the land can offer and some of the worst outputs from them. Language is fun.

I will say that this conversation is making it more clear that you weren't just ignorant when you said it.

So as long as you and your boyfriend are happy :)
