Everybody knows what it used to mean, retard. You're the one that can't seem to comprehend that terms and slang change over time.

People have adopted developing and developed to denote a country's standard of lilving. First, second and third are literally out of date, Cold War era terms and only spacs like you try to apply them to the modern world.

You're the autist that is trying to use definitions that no one has used outside of academia for 20 years. Let me guess, you go around correcting people that it's "I couldn't care less"?

>i should use google to whine at somebody; they seem pretty consistent
