Ben, I seriously think it’s a silly, misleading use of the word that relies deceptively on the legal connotations to add unwarranted freight.

Also, it contributes to ignorance on free speech issues and misuse of free speech terms.

Maybe because accusing someone of being a racist for using the phrase “monkeying around” literally is slander? https://t.co/7fIFf3lLlc
