That's exactly what dictionary.com said aswell... I wonder which one came up with it first...
It's kinda like cheat sites(cheat codes and hints for games... if you didn't already know)... you go to one and it doesn't have what you were looking for... so you go to another one... and it has the exact same descriptions. And you don't know what site posted the cheats first.

P.S. Sorry for going so off-topic. It's a bad habit of mine to post about stuff that's kind of related/similar to what someone said.
