Linguists and Semanticists arguing over slang is akin to an electric engineer arguing about iPhones, or other tech fads. They may be stupid (sometimes immensely), but if it's what the general uninformed pubic accepts, who are you to be angry about it? I used to feel the same about tech. "God! I hate how consoles are developed to first, not my hand built gaming PC! God, Microsoft, tablets are not the new innovative thing! I love my PC! God Apple, I'd at least like the choice as to whether or not to install Flash Player!" etc. etc. etc. but the sooner you realize this is a pretentious thing to do and that you're wasting your time, the happier you'll be.
