- zepto 6y ago1. You are the one who brought ‘literal definitions’ into this. I brought the dictionary in because you definition is not a commonly used one. 2. Exactly one out of the 7 definitions on the page you list supports your position. 3. The top definition on the page you linked is consistent with the meaning I am using. 4.
