jimmy4's above statement about of "taking the term back" underscores my point.
the "muscular, fashionable" statement was a failed attempt at making this thread light-spirited, while offering an equally silly predjudice to point out the negative meaning is invalid. i would agree with you, seretogis, but it seems to be a trend in apathy, not a handful of people. the question posed by this thread in the first place was only wondering _why_ people feel a need to use it, i was not attempting to attack the uncreative droves that do.
i'm not really sure how minor word choice equates to something as dramatic as "letting other people run your life."
