    I’m not hiding begind “arbitrary definitions,” the definition you gave literally agreed with me. Historically, that’s the most relevant usage of the term.

        The connotation is that of the first definition. The other definitions exist within the context of that definition.

          You can’t help it telling me what I meant when I explicitly told you what I meant, huh? Are you trying to gaslight me, or something? Because that’s a fucked up thing to do.

            I told you the connotation of what you said, not your intention. I’m not gaslighting you, I’m telling you that when you say 2 people are in a sugar daddy relationship, it’s assumed by the reader that they are exchanging sexual favors for goods or cash.

              Why does the assumed connotation matter if the targeted meaning was laid bare if not for your stubborn ass to get the last word in?

              Want to examine those connotations? /s

                Because the assumed connotation was what I took issue with, as I pointed out. Not sure why this is difficult to understand.
