Chiefly British Wild or uproarious merriment.

It makes one wonder if people know the true meaning of the word as a term describing speech or writing that incites people to be angry or act violently!
Good post!-- except for ending conclusion since the category of philosophy is about opinions called arguments. YA and I disagree on this issue despite repeated attempts to explain why "why Q's" are different and should not be handled as how-to Q's.!
Still you scored points with me!
