    Verbicide’s first written use is recorded to have occurred in the 1820s. Which funnily enough was 200 years ago. Unfortunately, due to only a statistically insignificant number of people being aware of its meaning in the 1820s, your initial point is null and void…

    It’s perfectly normal for a working glossary of terms to evolve within a limited interested group and then spread outside of that group if their utility aids the comprehension and discussion of current concepts.

      I think they were referring to “Private Property”, the victim of verbicide.

      They’re asking “When did the meaning of private property get assassinated”
