[Lexicog] circular definitions

[William J Poser]

MIke's comment that a male whale is not a "bull" for some
segment of the English-speaking population reminds me
that I fear that I am the only person left who considers airplanes
to have "port" and "starboard" sides rather than "left" and "right".
The language is really going to the dogs. :)
