This post has left me nonplussed.

Assuming of course that you aren't lying about the definition.

Apparently B&N and Amazon are having sales on the complete collection. A bit pricey, but I'm still tempted to pick it up.

As for the OP, I'm pretty sure (NSFW due to pictures in article) Cracked had an article on this and other difficult words. Seems like a lot of them get used both ways so much, that both definitions become correct.
