Wrong again.  The press sets the definitions these days (not that it should,
it just does.)  Remember what "pot" and "stoned" mean?  They mean a
cooking implement and getting killed by having small hard objects thrown
at you.  However if I said, "my brother/sister got stoned" you think
drugs, right?
