I live by the rule: If something seems a little off, question the speaker about what they mean. It is likely they are using a different definition than you are familiar with. Accept what they tell you. Their definition is what matters. I know the tech crowd in particular loves to make up their own pet definitions for words and then double down on refusing to acknowledge that any other definition is possible, thereby continually talking past each other because there is no shared lexicon to hilarious effect, but that's not the norm, thankfully. To each their own. However, we're all in this together.
