    That's the point. It has been expanded so far that you can literally apply it to anything you don't like.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          Not woke. Boring as fudge 90% of the time, but not woke.

          Okay, it has a few good moments, and the main character (whatever his name is)...the guy who played Sirius Black...is great.

              I mean, who doesn't love a Cessna loaded with fertilizer 5-episode storyline?

              I rest my case.

                Uh, that was a red herring! You should know that if you watched it! And its Jackson Lamb in Slough House.

                  Maybe I’d remember that it was a red herring if the show wasn’t such a slog. What was the real issue? I honestly can’t remember.

                    It was actually a very intricate plot involving a soviet sleeper spy who activated his old network (the plane people in the Cotswolds ) to create a decoy terrorist attack so that he could steal the diamonds.

                        Just because some people overuse the term, doesn't mean the term doesn't. describe a very real phenomenon. Progressives tend to overuse "racist" and "fascist", but that certainly does not mean those two things don't exist.
