One, there isn't some governing body for the term "Tankie".

It's called a dictionary. And even though there are many of them, they agree on the definition. Words mean things. Kinda cool how that works.

A dictionary describes words and their already existing meaning not governs or creates them.

- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
