I wonder why you chose the word when the meaning you meant is so removed from its common usage.
It's the second definition in the dictionary. It's not removed from common usage at all. I've already used an extremely common example, workers going on strike until their demands are met. I really can't see the point of arguing about this. It's puerile.
I already commented on that...well that you were being puerile anyway.
I completely don't get why you and everyone wants to play dictionary word games.
I realize that you call yourself a philosopher and by virtue of that you should know this but often Logicians and Philosophers need to talk about something in a very restricted way. Often that's the only way they can "get work done". Since it's very difficult to talk about everything a word connotes* So you construct a definition.
For example the first line in Aristotle's
De Interpretatione (in Latin considering how people here like to fling it around like so much monkey poop) is as follows:
First we must define the terms 'noun' and 'verb', then the terms 'denial' and 'affirmation', then 'proposition' and 'sentence.' He goes on to define these terms.
I'd submit that it doesn't matter how one defines their term as long as they disclose what the definition is. Bitcoin2cash can define his terms any way s/he wants. S/he can say that "demand" means "violently" or "not violent" or "fruit bat". Now sure that gives him/her the opportunity to use a uncommon definition but it doesn't really matter. Because that will in turn restrict what conclusions s/he draws.
i.e. I want to argue that pool hopping is unethical. So I'll define the term "pool" to mean "a place where it is unethical to hop"**. Now this, of course makes it easy to produce a syllogism which is valid but it hugely restricts the applicability of the argument. In this case the only pools which are unethical to hop are the ones for which it is unethical to hop. Which is what we call "begging the question" - the arguer has assumed her conclusion.
The only place where using the dictionary makes any sense is to show that a person is using a term in an uncommon sense in which case the arguer should provide a definition. Attempting to use the dictionary to pretend that their definition isn't valid*** is silly. Lots of words can refer to concepts not found in the dictionary. Not only that but the arguer can just create a new word as a referent to his/her idea.
I feel like I should start a thread called: "How to argue" because while people like bitcoin2cash, JoelKatz, FredreicBAsshat,BCEmporium are all borderline crazy. Their crazy might be shut down more quickly if the root of their argument could be identified and killed. Instead of spending a lot of time on peripheral matters.
Apologies if that was preachy.

A good example of this is my conversation with JoelKatz about pollution. Joel was barely able to say anything about what was or was not pollution which might be due to his belief that he had no useful definition of his term 'pollution' or 'optimum'. It's of course possible that Joel was being strategic i.e. he believed that by exposing his definition that would allow me to attack his argument (which would be correct). **
Interestingly enough I suspect that if JoelKatz would ever decide to actually define his terms about this. His argument would probably break down similarly.***
I think bitcoin2cash did this exact thing in one of our first discussions.
