      When exactly did I claim I knew anything better than the dictionary? When did I disagree with the dictionary?

        Literally every time you referenced the dictionary, you even got offended that I quoted the dictionary.

        But sure, if the dictionary is right, how exactly am I wrong.

          Show me one instance where I disagreed with the dictionary, Mr. “‘Antwort’ means ‘answer’, not ‘response’”.

          You being a dingus for quoting the dictionary at me to explain an idiom that I’ve known and used for years in a language I’ve spoken on a daily basis since I can remember doesn’t make me disagree with the dictionary.

          So yeah… When did I disagree with any dictionary? Or rather: any translation/explanation of an idiom?

            Ah so I’m not wrong then, took a bit for you to admit but I’m glad we got there.

            Doing something for years doesn’t mean you are doing it competently, you’ve never met an idiot who’s done their job wrong for years?

            Oh literally every time you tried to mock me for being wrong while not providing evidence or explanation. I typically call that being a crybaby but you’re welcome to offer a different definition.
