False water cobra?

That is the point. People call things what they deem.....doesnt mean that it is true or even remotely close to accurate.

Who are these people of whom you speak so freely?

I do NOT use words in ways that I do NOT mean to use them unless I am uninformed as to the true meaning of a particular word.

For example, when I say the lake is dry, I actually mean there is no water in the lake. I am not saying that there may be some water somewhere in this lake. Had I wanted to say there was water in the lake, I would have said so.

Have you ever seen a food item bitten by a hot snake have no reaction to that bite? I have. I wonder if that was a dry bite? Sure seems to me it would be.

I will flat out say your above statement is inaccurate for those who actually speak the English language, not just throw words out to impress those who know no better.
