i'm not really sure how minor word choice equates to something as dramatic as "letting other people run your life."
My point was that having read all the previous posts, it seemed that some people put way too much thought into minor word choices.

I may have mis-read your original question. My previous post (above) was in response to the question posed in the first sentence of your thread-starter.

Were you wondering why it's widely accepted or why people use the word as an insult?
