The definition is far better than guessing
Sorry, I don't know how you're using any of those words or their grammatical construction. Please parse your sentence. Thanks

Its simple enough. Using the definition of a word is accurate, using the word as you feel best suits you causes confusion or requires the other person to read minds.
You don't use context in your interpretation of words?
Gosh, you must struggle with things like, "Bob kicked the bucket'.
Oh well.

We are not discussing bob or buckets.
Oh, and "kick the bucket" is defined in the oed
Please provide the details. . Let's play go fetch for a while ...
kick the bucket
phrase of kick
- INFORMAL
die.
"when the old girl finally kicked the bucket there was no mention of yours truly in the will"
Just think, you could have done that yourself and been proud of your effort
That's not the full OED entry. Sorry, I consider that a fail. Please try again.
Tough, try it yourself
No. If you can't back up your opinion just say so? Full OED or nothing.
It is actually the full oed definition so what's it like to be wrong?
No it isn't, because you didn't provide the etymological information or timelines. Are you just using the online free version, lol
Can you provide date, context and quotation for first usage, please.
Oxford Lexico has no need to provide etymology, it provides definition which is enough for this argument.
So you're admitting to not providing the full OED entry which you claimed to have provided? Oh dear, oh dear ... What was it you said to me? What's it like to be wrong? Dunno. I have a bad memory.
I have provided the full OED definition, which i claimed. I have not provided the irrelevant bull that massages your ego.
Time to break out the memes:
Projection must be so embarrassing for you
